Saving grassroots sports & community from flooding & climate change across Britain. ⚽️💚🌲

22/10/2026

Play is so important. But as adults, finding the time or the friends becomes more difficult.

These guys are winning at life!

Thanks to for showing us what grassroots communities are all about - and why they're worth protecting as the weather gets more extreme.

Mrs Oli could be seeing him much more regularly as extreme weather gets worse‼️

What would YOU do on a Saturday with no football?

This is the question players face as 120k football games every year in the UK are cancelled due to unplayable conditions.

Match cancellations aren't just a pain - they stop vital opportunities for people from all backgrounds to keep fit, healthy, and social.

That's why we're protecting grassroots pitches from the effects of extreme weather (with nature-based solutions that are great for wildlife too!).

And we're delighted to share that our work has led to us being shortlisted for two categories at the British Association for Sustainable Sport (BASIS) Awards 2026.

We also want to give a massive congratulations to our amazing colleague Emma Bruton-Follis of Final Third who has been shortlisted as a standout "Changemaker". This follows MBA winning the Sport Positive Leadership Award last week.

Amazing work, team!

Everyone deserves to have this!!

But the UK's community pitches are being devastated by extreme weather at an alarming rate. Memories and moments are being torn away from families. 👪⚽️

We're working with grassroots clubs to protect the spaces where communities come together, with nature-based solutions that keep wildlife happy too.

There's more than two football clubs in Manchester 🐝

Grassroots clubs are worth supporting. But with weather getting more and more extreme, the grounds they play on are at risk of being rendered unplayable.

Lets Save Our Grassroots together and keep communities fit, active, and social!

Grassroots Sports is serious business.

Here's Wellington AFC 'A' to explain more.

Every year, 100,000 games are cancelled every year in football alone due to poor pitch conditions, and by 2050, 1 in 4 pitches could be underwater.

Every cancelled game is a missed opportunity for connection, exercise, routine and the countless mental health benefits that grassroots sport provides.

So, let's do something about it. 🌱

We all need somewhere to be ourselves, keep fit, and enjoy our passions with like-minded people.
