Free Development Loans through NGB’s

Some National Governing Bodies of Sport provides loan schemes to clubs to help finance capital projects which contribute to the recruitment and retention of community players at sports clubs.

Examples of this include;

Sponsorship

Sponsorship is a process by which a company, organisation or individual provides an organisation or individual with funds, products or services for commercial advantage. It can be a useful tool to any sports club or local group and can be used for a number of different needs from as one off purchase of kit or equipment, to long term projects such as rent or ground maintenance.

Sponsorship is a business relationship that can bring mutual benefits to both parties e.g. the sponsored organisation or individual and the sponsoring company. This sponsorship should provide essential funding to the sports club or local group, and allow the organisations or business to give back to the community and promote their community work, name or products. The majority of companies look for a return on their support or investment, ranging from goodwill within the community to other benefits such as media exposure, increased sales and brand awareness.

Sponsorship enables long-term relationships to be built. The longer the relationship lasts, the greater the value that can be gained from it. The type of sponsorship available will depend both on your organisation and the sponsor. Sponsorship does not just mean money it can also be products or services in kind.
