Floodlights
Floodlight funding enables extended evening use of sports facilities. We support installation of energy-efficient LED systems that meet safety and visibility standards. Projects must demonstrate clear community benefit and usage plans.
Clubhouses
Clubhouse grants improve changing facilities, spectator areas and community spaces. We fund both new builds and renovations that enhance accessibility and functionality. Priority given to projects serving under-resourced communities.
Grass Pitch Improvements
Grass pitch funding covers drainage, irrigation and soil improvement works. We support sustainable maintenance practices that extend playing seasons. Projects must demonstrate long-term maintenance plans and community usage commitments.
Fencing
Fencing grants enhance site security and safety for players and spectators. We fund perimeter fencing that meets safety standards while maintaining visibility. Applications must show how fencing improves facility usability and community access.
