GRASSROOTS sports clubs are being invited to apply for a £10,000 funding boost as part of a campaign from a brewery.
Greene King is celebrating the first anniversary of its Proud To Pitch In initiative, which sees 10p from every pint of its IPA put into a pot for the clubs to tap into.
Ex-footballer and popular pundit Robbie Savage, a Proud to Pitch In ambassador, has long been a champion of grassroots sports and is supporting the scheme.
He said: “Grassroots clubs are essential for communities up and down the country. They are not only a great social outlet, but grassroots sport is brilliant for mental and physical health.
“Attitudes towards grassroots sports still have a long way to go which is why Greene King IPA’s Proud To Pitch In scheme is so important, and a great opportunity for teams to receive all important funding.”
Grants of up to £3,000 can be applied for across the year
For the £10,000 sum, clubs have until Sunday, December 11, to apply, and the winner will be contacted in January.
