Matchday has finally arrived! Good luck to Thomas Tuchel and the England Team.

Let’s hope this evening’s game is one to inspire our superstars of the future, many of whom are just starting out with their local club.

This grassroots network of clubs and volunteers is what guides and nurtures young talent. And we all know that running a club, and providing playing facilities, takes money.

If your club needs a financial grant to help support the next generation of players, we want to hear from you.

👉 Apply for a grant with us today, and let’s build the future of the game together: https://www.csrt.info/how-to-apply/

Built in grassroots football, united by England football team ❤️🦁

In sport, just like in life, you don't win every time. Sport teaches children one of the most critical life skills of all: resilience. Learning to pick yourself up after a loss, adjust your strategy, and try again builds a mindset that lasts a lifetime. Clubs are the classrooms where these life lessons happen.

🏆Don't let a lack of funding stand in the way of teaching the next generation how to be resilient. If your club needs new equipment to keep training sessions going, apply for a CSRT grant. 👉 https://www.csrt.info/how-to-apply/

Regular exercise isn't just great for a young person's body—it’s vital for their mind. Participating in sports reduces stress, alleviates anxiety, and boosts self-esteem for kids navigating the pressures of growing up today. 🧠✨

But to get those benefits, kids need safe facilities and working equipment.

If your club in England provides an outlet for young people under 21 but is struggling with worn-out gear or facility upkeep, we want to help. Our grants of up to £1,500 can refresh your space.

We were delighted to receive this letter of thanks from Kings Boxing Academy 🙏

It really brings us great joy to know how much good our grants can do, and what a difference we can make to sports clubs and their members.

The full letter:

Thank you so much for your help and support and to the trust who provide grass-roots boxing clubs with funding to buy much needed equipment which provides improvements to enable young people to develop skills and abilities.

Without the trust our struggle would continue with the constant battle to keep the gym open.

The trust is an essential resource for such clubs like ours who have a passion to serve our community and provide boxing, fitness and well-being as a positive healthy life-style.

The trustees are wise and see the full benefits the funding provides, The Central Social & Recreational Trust is a lifeline to many clubs and communities such as ours.

We are so grateful and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

God bless
