Flutter UKI Launches “Cash4Clubs” Programme
Acting on its commitment to Do More for Communities, Flutter UKI is providing 200 community sporting organisations across the UK and Ireland with the opportunity to apply for grants of £2,000 to improve their facilities, purchase new equipment, run coaching programmes and drive participation in sports.
Last year’s winners included Basa in Rochdale, which runs fitness classes for over 60’s women, the Gosport Bowmen archery club in Hampshire and the London Wheelchair rugby club – who sent four players to the ParalympicsGB squad in Paris.
Of the clubs awarded funding last year, over 85% said they had been able to deliver more activities – and a total of 9000 new people aged 18 or over had engaged in health and fitness programmes as a result.
Dame Caroline Dinenage, Conservative MP and chair of the cross-party DCMS Select Committee, said: “I hope that grassroots clubs will make the most of the opportunity to apply for a Cash4Clubs grant.
“These clubs do great work in our communities, bringing people together, getting them active and developing new skills and passions. This money will make a huge difference.”
Since Cash4Clubs was launched in 2008, nearly £6 million has been invested into community sports by Flutter through its brands, which include Paddy Power, Sky Betting & Gaming, Betfair and tombola.
Ian Brown, Chief Executive of Flutter UKI, said: “The stunning success of Team GB at the Paris Olympics and Paralympics once again highlighted the power of sport. We hope Cash4Clubs can play an important part in helping at the grassroots level by enabling small clubs to play an even bigger role in their community.
“There are priceless benefits in people trying out a sport for the first time, getting active or having the confidence to take their hobby to the next level. We believe this programme can make a real difference in the areas that need it most.”
Flutter UKI is working with leading UK charity Sported to deliver the Cash4Clubs programme. Two hundred bids will be selected for funding by the awards panel, with a particular emphasis this year on clubs in impoverished areas trying to boost participation.
Sport England has a 10-year to improve the lives and communities in England through physical activity and sport.
While sports activity has recovered from the pandemic, a parliamentary report last year warned there has been little progress in tackling barriers to participation in sport and physical activity across England.
The House of Commons Public Accounts Committee said nearly two in five adults in England still do not meet guidelines for recommended activity.
Sarah Kaye, Chief Executive of Sported, said: “We continue to see people who are increasingly at risk of being unable to access the benefits of sport because of the growing financial challenges faced by grassroots groups.
“It’s a privilege to partner with Flutter on Cash4Clubs and we will ensure.”
One of last year’s winners, Welcome House Hull, used the Cash4Clubs grant to help set up Acorn FC, a football team made up exclusively of refugees and asylum seekers. They went on to make history by playing the first competitive match in the UK between asylum seeker teams.
Shirley Hart of Welcome House, commented: “We formed our football team Acorn FC and with the money from the grant we could be taken seriously as we could practise more, appear more professional, play better. We teamed up with Active Through Football and made history by playing the first inter-city asylum seeker competitive football match. We could not have done this without your grant.”
Craig Streeter, Vice Chairman of the London Wheelchair Rugby Club, said: “We appreciate all donations of any amount and would like to say a huge thank you to Cash4Clubs. These donations help fund anything from tournaments to tape and are essential in the progression of the club and our members.
“We certainly do encourage other clubs to apply for the scheme. Wheelchair Rugby is an expensive sport, and any ease of financial burden helps our players from grass roots to Paralympic glory.”

International stars of the football world are coming together in Lisbon this September for the Legends Charity Game in order to raise funds for communities suffering from the effects of war and local tensions around the world.
Timed to coincide with the SBC Summit in Lisbon, the Legends Charity Game on Monday 15 September is a highly anticipated match between Portugal Legends vs. World Legends, featuring some of the biggest names in the history of football. The Legends will compete in front of 60,000 Fans, and in front of millions of people that will watch the game online / on TV.
With strong support from the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), the match will see Portuguese legends playing against footballing royalty from the Rest of the World in an event that aims to raise over €1,000,000 for selected charities in the support of communities and families experiencing extreme hardship.
Luis Figo, who won trophies across Europe as well as the Ballon d’Or in 2000, will be captaining the Portugal Legends side. He comments: “It’s always a pleasure to come back to my country and play football, especially when wearing the national team colours! Hope to see a full stadium in my hometown Lisbon for this amazing Legends Charity Game and raise funds for important charity causes.”
Joining Figo from the triumphant Euro 2016 winning squad are Ricardo Quaresma, Eliseu and Ricardo Carvalho. Champions League winners Fábio Coentrão, Maniche, Hugo Almeida, Vitor Baia, José Bosingwa and Deco will also play on the night as well as other famous Portuguese legends include Beto, Jorge Andrade, Dani, Tiago Mendes, Hélder Postiga, Nuno Gomes and Simão. They will be managed by another Champions League winner – Costinha.
They will be facing stiff competition from the World Legends squad that includes legends such as: Peter Schmeichel (Denmark), Cafu (Brazil), Javier Zanetti (Argentina), Diego Lugano (Uruguay), Leonardo Bonucci (Italy), Gaizka Mendieta (Spain), Youri Djorkaeff (France), Christian Karambeu (France), Marek Hamsik (Slovakia), Giorgos Karagounis (Greece), Krassimir Balakov (Bulgaria), Gheorghe Hagi (Romania), Edwin van der Sar (Netherlands) Henrik Larsson (Sweden), Shota Arveladze (Georgia), Javier Saviola (Argentina), and Ronaldinho (Brazil).
The match will be played in front of 60,000 fans at either Estádio da Luz (Benfica Stadium) or José Alvalade Stadium (Sporting Lisbon Stadium), which will be part of a big and exciting reveal in August when the Champions League schedule is released.
The Legends Charity Game aims to raise over €1,000,000 for a number of good causes based both abroad and in Portugal as the Football Family aims to give back to the families of the world. Funds will be raised for both international and national charities who help families and communities in need.
One of the international organisations that The Legends Charity Game will be raising funds for is the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS). Every day, the Ukrainian Red Cross teams provide evacuation support, psychosocial and first aid, provide essential humanitarian relief, support temporary shelters, help with housing restoration, and spread awareness about unexploded ordnance risks. Ukrainian Red Cross volunteers and staff work in all regions of the country to support those who need it most.
Maksym Dotsenko, Director General of the Ukrainian Red Cross, comments: “The war in Ukraine continues, and unfortunately, millions of people still need support every day. We have no right to stop. Initiatives like the Legends Charity Game are not just about the funds raised. They are about compassion, and the understanding that the world stands by us. They are about solidarity that transforms into real help for those going through the toughest times. We are grateful to everyone who takes part.”
The Lisbon-based Cáritas Portuguesa, which offers critical support to marginalised communities fighting issues such as poverty and inadequate emergency relief, is also a charitable partner for the Legends Charity Game.
SBC Founder & CEO Rasmus Sojmark explains: “We are taking our charitable endeavours up a notch this year with the spectacular football match in order to raise a lot of money for some very worthy causes. By tying the match in with the SBC Summit in Lisbon the same week, we have found a way for the communities around football and business to help other communities that are facing unimaginable hardships.”
Tickets are available to purchase via the official website www.legendscharitygame.com. See Tickets will handle ticket management of the event.
Sponsorships and Hospitality are still available in support of the event and the charities. Some of the sponsors already confirmed include iGP, Soft2Bet, Sportingtech, Vegas Legends, Spribe, SmartSoft and Alea.
