25 Years of Grassroots Football

/in , , , /by

I was delighted to join England legend Lucy Bronze in celebrating 25 years of the Football Foundation’s investment into the grassroots game yesterday.

Since 2000, Southgate and Wood Green has benefitted from 99 grants worth £2.1m to support community sport. Last season, 149 grassroots football teams were playing on sites that have benefitted from this investment.

The Football Foundation are looking forward to going further with the support of the Premier League, the FA, and the Department of Culture, Media, and Sport.
