Cash4Clubs is a small grants scheme, funded by Flutter UK & Ireland, for community sports clubs and organisations giving them a chance to apply for grants to improve facilities, purchase new equipment, gain coaching qualifications, and invest in the sustainability of their club.

Since then, it has grown in size and reach – helping hundreds of thousands of people across the UK and Ireland by improving access to community sports and supporting club sustainability. The initiative has awarded grants to many deserving recipients in the past and remains committed to funding even more clubs in the future.

As part of their 2024 funding programme, we were asked to bring to life the stories of two clubs that received support this year: London Wheelchair Rugby Club and Acorn FC.

Both clubs showcase the power of sport to uplift and inspire communities, fostering local pride and encouraging healthy lifestyles.

Acorn FC and London Wheelchair Rugby Club are a testament to sports ability to unite and empower. The refugee football club (Acorn FC) started with just a ball – and thanks to a Flutter UK & Ireland funded Cash4Clubs grant, they are now transforming lives and creating opportunities for asylum seekers, all brought together by their love of football.

Meanwhile, London Wheelchair Rugby Club has gone from strength to strength, with four of its players now set to compete at the Paris Paralympics.

Deliver

Community sport is more than just the game – it’s an investment into the health, resilience, and future of ourselves. Sport promotes well-being, brings people together and has the power to change lives.

At JMP, we’re passionate about both sport and storytelling. We’re proud to support Cash4Clubs, bringing its initiatives and inspiring stories to life.
