Across our football community, there is quality gear sitting in storage that could make a real difference to another club or school.Play It Forward is a new Central Football initiative designed to connect those who have football equipment to share with those who need it, helping keep more people involved in the game while reducing unnecessary waste.Whether it's boots, playing kits, balls, training equipment or other football resources, every item has the potential to help someone else continue their football journey.

♻️ Play It Forward applications are now open! ⚽

Following the fantastic support we've already received from clubs across our federation, we're excited to open applications for the Central Football Play It Forward programme.

If the cost of football equipment is making it difficult for you, your family, your club or your school to participate, we'd love to hear from you.

Play It Forward helps connect donated football gear with those who need it most, giving quality equipment a second life while helping remove barriers to participation.

As the programme relies on donated equipment, we won't be able to fulfil every request, but we'll do our best to match applicants with suitable gear as donations become available.

💙 Have gear to donate? It's not too late to become a Play It Forward Support Club and help make a difference.
