Barclays Spaces for Sports is investing £30 million to create sustainable sports facilities in communities across the UK. It is the single biggest investment in grassroots sport by a company ever in the UK.
They have a history of investing in community sport and regeneration. During the past nine years they have spent £8 million with Groundwork creating more than 800 vibrant spaces for the community from derelict and under-used land.
Three years ago they developed Barclaycard Free Kicks in partnership with The Football Foundation investing £4 million in grassroots football. They provided kit and equipment to over 1200 teams and groups and reached 120,000 young people.
With their charity partners and in consultation with local communities, they're funding over 150 Barclays Spaces for Sports over three years.
They're helping local communities transform neglected land into the sporting facilities they want - from a skateboard park to a football pitch or multi use games area. They provide initial funds, supply equipment and help establish sporting activity at the site.
Their commitment to these sites includes expert guidance on sustainability to ensure local people benefit from the space well into the future. They are helping many young teams by providing coaching kits worth £750, which include t-shirts, fleeces, cones and whistles.
They couldn't do all this without the expertise of the Football Foundation and Groundwork.
