Kent clubs taking advantage of Football Foundation grants

Nearly £100,000 worth of the Football Foundation's small grants have been invested into Kent clubs since July.

So far this season, 27 clubs in Kent have taken advantage of the Football Foundation’s Small Grants Scheme and been collectively awarded £96,594 of funding to improve facilities at their grounds.

The Small Grants scheme offers clubs and organisations the opportunity to apply for up to £25,000 worth of funding towards small improvement projects that make a big difference to the grassroots football community. This could be purchasing new goals or portable floodlights to installing ball retention fencing or storage containers.
