Our team have managed our kits well especially when the kids continually grow out of them. When we move on to the 9 a side season we would like to be able to kit out the kids in the same home team kit and provide rain jackets so that all of the kids are the same no matter their circumstances. We would pass on our smaller kits to the youth academy teams below us, in order to recycle the kits that are still in good condition, but just too small now. Instead of passing on the cost to parents to fund a new kit for their child, this grant would allow us to make sure the whole team go to games and festivals all in the same home kit, ensuring they all feel part of the team.

Full kit for 20 kids = 20 x 59 = £1180

We want to support more of our peers to attend our FREE after school extra-curricular sport clubs however not a lot of people at our school have access to sports kit to attend, we done a consultation with our year groups and they identified kit as a barrier as a reason they cannot attend our clubs. We want to provide a kit box with sports wear they can access if they want to attend an after school club but can't because lack of kit, our kit box would include t-shirts with our school logo as well as leggings and shorts, this will also give our young people a sense of belonging at our clubs so they don't feel isolated, bringing our community together, we will also get our logo printed on the tops to give our peers some pride that they belong at our clubs. Without approrpitate kit, students do not get to access the free sports opportunity which could impact mental wellbeing, with the cost of living crisis, this will hopfully remove that barrier and give every young person the chance to participate. If we are buying uniformed sports wear, then it means no one is feeling left out as they can match their peirs and take pride in their participation.
