Applications for the 2026/27 season are now closed. Every application is being read, and successful teams will hear from us during August. The fund re-opens in 2027.
Successful teams receive a funded package supplied and printed by Workwear Express, delivered before the season starts.
A full playing kit for your squad, printed and ready for matchday.
Matching kit for training nights, for players, coaches and volunteers.
The gear that keeps sessions running, whatever your sport.
This fund isn't a one-off gesture. We put money into UK sport all year round, at every level.

From junior football to adult league sides, over thirty teams already play in kit we've backed. This fund adds the next wave.
We also kit out the team at The Farmer's Dog, the pub from Clarkson's Farm. If our kit survives a Clarkson project, it will survive your Sunday league.
Starting a team from scratch is the hardest part of grassroots sport. If you're getting a new side off the ground for next season, we want to hear from you.
Tell us your plans in the application. Ambition counts for a lot.
Applications open ahead of each season. The 2026/27 window ran to 30 July and is now closed.
We read every application. We look at need, community impact and what the funding would change for your team.
Successful teams are contacted in August and we agree your kit and equipment package together.
Everything is printed, packed and delivered in time for the start of the season.
This fund is run by the same team that prints and delivers kit every day. No panel, no agency, no committee sitting on your application for months.
We're based in Durham. Our vans are on the road across the UK. When your team is selected, the people who read your application are the same people who print your shirts and get them to your door before the season starts.
You apply. We read it. We sort your kit. That's the whole process.

No. Applying is free and there's no obligation attached. If you're not selected this time, there's nothing to pay and nothing to cancel.
Kit and equipment, not cash. Successful teams work with us to build a package of match kit, training wear, uniform and equipment, which we supply, print and deliver.
Any organised amateur sport. Football, rugby, netball, cricket, hockey, boxing, athletics, and anything else played at grassroots level across the UK.
Yes, but submit a separate application for each team so we can judge each one on its own merits.
