Following recent guidance issued by The FA for the restarting of football activity, eligible clubs and organisations will now be able to apply for a fixed £500 grant to make the necessary changes and modifications to allow them to reopen.

Any club that wants to apply for a grant to help with toilets, hand sanitisers, waste, and more, should check the eligibility criteria on the Club Preparation Fund website.
