Are you in need of some new kit or equipment? Or maybe your clubhouse needs a lick of paint? Nationwide Building Society are giving away £1,000 grants to help local grassroots football teams, with applications required by Sunday 15th August.

Nationwide want to help create a society built on mutual respect. Which is why they've partnered with football associations across the UK to help make grassroots football a more positive and respectful place. They’ve been touring the country this spring to ask people to sign in support of their respect partnerships and show passion for protecting the values of the beautiful game.

Thanks to this support, Nationwide are donating £50,000 to their new Mutual Respect Grant Fund to help support grassroots football. They’ve got 50 £1,000 Mutual Respect Grants to award to grassroots clubs across the UK.

To apply for one of the grants, please click this link or follow @AskNationwide on Twitter to find links to the application page. All you need to do is tell them why respect is important to your club. Applications are open until midnight on Sunday 15th August. Terms and conditions apply.
