Barclays has come to the aid of Lybster Junior Football Club by donating a complete set of coaching kit and equipment to its football team. The award has been made as part of the £30m grassroots programme, Barclays Spaces for Sports.

The donation is one of 1,200 packs being awarded each year to ensure teams across the UK will benefit from the three year scheme.
Lybster Junior Football Club secretary Mark Hendry said “we would like to take this opportunity to thank Barclays for providing this kit and equipment that will benefit both our coaches and players. We now have 5 junior teams to run and as fund raising becomes more and more difficult it is very much appreciated. We would also like to thank Initiative at the Edge development officer for his support”

Michelle Smith, Barclays Sponsorship Director said “Barclays are delighted to be supporting Lybster Junior Football Club and hope this Kit will encourage their interest in sport and lead them to greater success!”

Barclays spaces for sport, a partnership between Barclays, Football Foundation and Groundwork, will create sustainable sports sites and provide coaching kit and equipment to communities in most need of help across the UK.

Barclays Spaces for Sports is a three year, £30million community programme, which will create sustainable sports sites across the UK in areas without such facilities. Combined with the Premiership sponsorship, the investment makes Barclays one of the biggest supporters of sport in the UK.

Together with partners Football Foundation and Groundwork, the scheme will provide seven flagship sports sites every 12 months. 50 small sites, from basketball courts to grass pitches, will also be developed. In addition 1,200 sets of sports coaching kit and equipment will be distributed per year.
