Grow the Game Grants Awarded
£39,000 has now been
invested into Sussex Football thanks to the Grow the Game grant. Clubs are now
on the hunt for the next generation of players thanks to grants of £1,500.
The scheme, which is funded by The FA and delivered by the Football Foundation, will enable clubs to create new teams and improve facilities.
