Community Participation
Great venues are more than pitches - they’re community hubs. Pitches thrive when communities thrive.
We help partners run programmes across all ages and abilities: coaching, leagues, tournaments, charity events, social kickabouts, and more.
By segmenting customers clearly, we make it easier for local organisations to use your space efficiently.
This boosts off-peak usage, strengthens funding bids, and unlocks new sponsorship opportunities.
In 2025 PlayFootball generated £8m worth of social Impact, into our local communities.
It isn’t just a game, it’s a force for social good!!!
