Successful Club Fundraising with Spond 🇬🇧
Athletics Funding at the Grassroots
The recent financial struggles of UK Athletics, with losses of £3.7 million, have a significant ripple effect on grassroots sports. While elite athletics face their own set of challenges, it’s the grassroots clubs and young athletes that are often hit hardest. The financial strain at the top trickles down, affecting athletics funding and resources at the local level. This situation calls for innovative solutions and community support to keep the grassroots athletics scene thriving.
Spond’s Role in Supporting Grassroots Athletics
Spond is actively responding to the challenges faced by grassroots athletics. By recognising the financial hurdles of clubs and athletes, Spond has effectively integrated innovative fundraising platforms, namely Spond Superdraw and Spot the Ball, into the Spond app. These platforms are a lifeline for grassroots clubs, providing essential funds to sustain operations and support young athletes.
Spond Superdraw and Spot the Ball: A New Era of Athletics Funding
Marking a new era in grassroots sports fundraising, Spond Superdraw and Spot the Ball are pivotal additions to the Spond app. These platforms enable clubs to effortlessly organise fundraising activities, engage their communities, and secure vital revenue. This strategy not only helps to mitigate financial pressures but also unites the athletics community in pursuit of a common goal.
Spond Club: Extending Support Beyond the App
The support for grassroots athletics extends beyond the Spond app through Spond Club. This expansion of fundraising initiatives provides an additional avenue for clubs to generate funds. Spond Club allows the wider community to participate in fundraising efforts, bolstering the resilience of grassroots athletics clubs across the UK.

Addressing the challenges at the grassroots level in UK athletics requires collective action. Spond’s forward-thinking approach in fundraising delivers indispensable support to clubs grappling with financial constraints. By leveraging technology and fostering community engagement, Spond plays a crucial role in ensuring the future of grassroots athletics in the UK.
