What they say
“Thanks to support from Sport England, Better and a network of fantastic community organisations, Alive and Kicking have opened over 250 football libraries across the UK – but we don’t want to stop there. The concept is simple – young people can borrow a ball for free from their local ball library hub, play with it, and then bring it back. The aim is to increase access to sport and increase the use of local pitches, playgrounds, and parks.”
