🎉 Welcome to the Grassroots Sport Lottery –

Supporting Communities First! 🎉

Hello and welcome!

Here at Communities First we’re excited to be part of the Grassroots Sport Lottery, helping us raise vital funds to continue the work we do across Croydon and beyond. From youth programmes and community fridges to walking football and mental well-being sessions — every ticket you buy helps us build stronger, healthier, and more connected communities.

Why We Need Your Help

We’re passionate about creating opportunities for everyone — especially young people — to thrive through Sport, Mentoring, and Community Support. But we can’t do it alone.

Funds raised through the lottery will go directly towards:

• Expanding our Selhurst Community Academy

• Providing free access to sports, training, and healthy lifestyle programmes

• Supporting our volunteers and youth mentors

• Launching new initiatives in mental health, employment skills, and food justice

We’ve got big goals – and your support will help us get there. Whether it's kit for our teams, equipment for training, or hosting life-changing workshops – your ticket is your way of making a real impact.
