Key challenges faced by leaders

Funding

92% of citizen grantees have no external funding sources and their established projects aren’t sustainable.

Pitch affordability

Football groups are unable to regularly secure affordable pitches for training and matches.

Increased cost of living

The higher cost of living is impacting leaders and beneficiaries, making projects more expensive to run and maintain.

Office space

Projects that are growing need access to free or discounted office spaces to take meetings and complete funding applications.

Partnerships

Leaders that are running intervention projects want to make connections that can support their efforts to tackle knife crime.

I know the stress that everyone is going through right now. There have been a lot of cuts to services that are affecting the community and I want to do what I can to help lift spirits.”
