The window is now open for teams to apply for up to £750 from the Berks & Bucks FA Football Fund with the key focus on setting up new teams.

It is the second time the County FA have been able to run the funding window – which is open until 30th June – and last year they awarded grants to the total of £13,500.

A post on the County FA website states: “Our  BBFA Football Fund is available for any existing FA Charter Standard Club wishing to develop NEW teams for season 2017/18. This year’s emphasis is supporting male U14-U18, adult male, adult female & disability teams.”

The fund enabled the creation of 20 new teams for the 2016/17 season specifically aiding support with facility hire, new kit and equipment as well as supporting coaches via relevant coaching courses.

You can download the PDF application form here.  Completed forms should be send to Simon.Wears@Berks-BucksFA.com no later than Friday 30th June.
