BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS FUND

The Breaking Down Barriers Fund has been established to provide financial assistance to individuals, clubs, and schools seeking support to participate in football and futsal. Eligible parties may apply to Central Football for assistance, which includes but is not limited to the following:

  • Provision of playing apparel, boots, and shin pads.
  • Provision of resources and support to low decile schools to facilitate football activities.
  • Promotion and introduction of new community programmes or the expansion of an existing community programme.

Central Football aim to ensure that, where possible, financial constraints do not hinder individuals or organisations from engaging in football/futsal. By offering financial support, the Federation strives to create equal opportunities for all, fostering inclusivity and diversity within the football community.

The Breaking Down Barriers Festival is a one-day football event aimed at both promoting various levels and versions of football whilst looking to fundraise to add to the existing fund. The Breaking Down Barriers Fund has already helped numerous clubs, individuals, and schools since its inception in 2021.
