We provide a range of innovative basketball opportunities including:

BASKETBALL BENEFITS BUSINESS
Would your business like to make a big difference to local school children?
We are looking for sponsors for our Basketball4All roadshows, Inactive Girls and Inactive Boys basketball leagues. As well as helping young people get active, build confidence and learn new skills, your business will also get exposure to up to 90 local households per session.
“As a company, people see our name and see what we do. But it also means that it provides something great for the kids. It puts money back into the community, and we can help build a community together.” Michael Brown, Basketball4All sponsor.

GRANTS
This season we have been successfully awarded over £30,000 in grants.
A huge thank you to our funding partners, Sport England, Energise Me, Community Foundation for Surrey, Walton Charity and Magic Little Grants who have helped us expand our projects this season.
Going forward we need to gain support from funders, businesses and the community to make all these sessions SUSTAINABLE in the future. We do not want to let the young people down by sessions having to cease due to lack of funds.
