Following an increase in demand, we are looking to help clubs and organisations in developing female- or disability-specific recreational sessions across the county. 

The Gloucestershire FA are offering the chance to apply for a grant worth up to £1,200, to support with the development or existing running of female or disability only recreational sessions. Clubs and organisations that are looking to create a new session, or maybe already run a ‘turn up and play’ style session, will be able to apply for this funding.

These sessions will be run as a part of the Snickers Protein Just Play Programme and can be run in any of the following formats: 
• Walking Football sessions  
• 16+ sessions (students) 
• 18+ sessions  
• Disability Specific
