Support FundedFootball While You Shop Online

We’re delighted to announce that FundedFootball is now registered with easyfundraising, giving our supporters a simple way to raise free donations for our charity while shopping online.

easyfundraising partners with thousands of well-known retailers. When you shop through the easyfundraising website or app, the retailer makes a small donation to FundedFootball as a thank-you for your purchase. It does not cost you anything extra, and the price of your shopping remains exactly the same.

Getting involved is easy:

• Visit our FundedFootball easyfundraising page
• Sign up and select FundedFootball as your chosen cause.
• Enable the browser extension to shop as normal, or browse to your chosen retailer through the easyfundraising app.
• Shop as normal and the retailer will donate a percentage of your purchase to us.

The donations may be small individually, but together they can make a meaningful difference. Funds raised will support our work helping children and young people from low-income families access and continue participating in grassroots football.

Every donation helps us contribute towards essential costs such as club registration fees, kit, equipment and other barriers that can prevent a child from joining a team or remaining in the game.

Whether you are booking a holiday, renewing your insurance, ordering groceries or doing your everyday online shopping, you could be helping to give another young person the opportunity to play football without spending a penny more.

Please sign up, choose FundedFootball as your cause and encourage your friends, family and colleagues to do the same.

FundedFootball Takes Centre Stage as Portsmouth FC’s 12th Man Sponsor

FundedFootball was proud to be the official 12th Man sponsor for Portsmouth FC’s fixture against Blackburn Rovers.

It was an excellent day at Fratton Park and a valuable opportunity to raise awareness of FundedFootball, the work we do and our commitment to making grassroots football accessible to more children.

Throughout the day, we were able to speak about the financial challenges facing families across local footballing communities. The cost of club fees, boots, kit, equipment and travel can quickly add up, sometimes leaving children at risk of missing out on the game they love.

FundedFootball exists to help remove these financial barriers. Through targeted financial support, practical assistance and signposting, we want to ensure that a family’s circumstances do not determine whether a child can participate in grassroots football.

Football provides much more than physical activity. It gives children an opportunity to build confidence, develop friendships, learn teamwork and feel part of their local community.

Being Portsmouth FC’s 12th Man sponsor provided a fantastic platform to share that message with supporters, businesses and potential partners. It also allowed us to highlight how donations and partnerships can help FundedFootball reach more children and families.

We would like to thank Portsmouth FC for the warm welcome and for giving FundedFootball the opportunity to raise awareness at such a brilliant event.

The day represented another important step in our journey as we continue building relationships, growing our reach and working to ensure that financial hardship never becomes the reason a child has to leave the game.

FundedFootball x Velocity Ballerz

Funded Football is proud to partner with Velocity Ballerz, a football brand created by young footballers, for young footballers.

Founded by Michael, a 12-year-old aspiring footballer from Essex, Velocity Ballerz was created with a simple mission: to design lightweight, comfortable shin pads that help young players perform with confidence and freedom on the pitch.

Built around grassroots football culture, ambition and performance, Velocity Ballerz understands the game from a player’s perspective and shares Funded Football’s passion for supporting the next generation.

As part of the partnership:

• £1 from every Velocity Ballerz sale is donated directly to Funded Football
• Velocity Ballerz helps support our community initiatives and events
• Funded Football receives discounted products to help support children and families we work with

Together, we are helping more children stay involved in football and ensuring financial barriers don’t stop young players from enjoying the game they love.

Small Purchase. Big Impact.

Every purchase helps support another child’s football journey.
