Sports Kit Sponsorship Grant 2024

The Sports Kit Grant is now closed for applications.

In 2021, we launched our school kit sponsorship grant – a commitment of £50,000 over the next decade towards directly sponsoring sports kits for schools amongst our customers.

This year is the 4th edition of the grant, and we are pleased to announce that the application process is now OPEN and will close on Tuesday 30 April 2024, at 5.00pm.

Who Is the Grant For?

Our grant is for schools that, due to budget constraints, are not able to properly invest in sport.

The overall health & safety of students includes the promotion of frequent exercise and healthy living in schools; and we have found that a formal sports kit provides an added value for the young people taking part.

Because of the specificity of the Grant, please note that this is not delivered as a cash prize.

To be eligible, you must be one of the following:

  • Pre-school
  • Primary school
  • Middle school
  • Secondary school
  • SEND school

Please note: Previous winners of the grant are not eligible

  • 10 winners will chosen at random upon the close of the applications
  • Each school is eligible to apply directly for the Grant a maximum of once per year
  • Previous winners are ineligible to apply for the Grant

“Pupils have worn with pride their new Tag Rugby Kit supplied by Safesmart. They felt that having a smart, uniformed kit gave them more confidence and helped them to win their interschool tournament.

They feel it must be a lucky kit as they still remain unbeaten!”

“Kanes Hill Primary School would like to say a huge thank you to Safesmart for our new school football kits. Having our team in a well-fitted, uniformed kit has made a huge difference to our children. They have said that they have so much more confidence going into a match as they look and feel like a united team.

As you can see from the photographs, the children feel so proud to be a part of the Kanes Hill squad!”

“Thank you so much to Safemart for the basketball kit you provided our pupils. We really value everyone feeling part of the team in our sports fixtures, and the kit made the pupils feel smart and presentable on court.

It has allowed us to provide kit to more teams in tournaments, and this makes them all feel valued which always has a knock-on effect towards their motivation and confidence when taking part in competitive opportunities.
So thank you!”

Head of PE, Robert Bloomfield Academy
“Safesmart donating the kit has meant that so many more children can participate in sports fixtures at Giles Brook.

We have used the kit for Cross Country and Athletics meets, as well as giving our younger children at the school an opportunity to wear kit that is especially for them to festivals.

Thank you so much for your support, Safesmart!”

“The kids love the new sports kit, kindly donated by Safesmart, and it is great that we look like a real team when they represent the school.

Safesmart made it really easy to get the kit we wanted and gave us plenty of options for the colour and sizes that we needed.

The children are all raring to have the opportunity to be a part of a school team and wear the kit to competitions.”

“The staff and children at Chalton Lower School would like to say a huge thank you to Safesmart for our wonderful sports kits. The children have worn the kits for a variety of sports festivals and tournaments and they always make the children feel confident and look smart.

The children feel proud to wear them to represent our school. The quality of the kit is great and our school logo looks fantastic. Thank you again.”

“Thank you so much for our new sports kits generously donated by Safesmart. The school was able to choose the design so it’s amazing to have a new sports kit in our school colours. The kits are really good quality.

It’s benefited so many of our pupils and they’re so proud to wear them. They’ve been worn for various events including football, cross country and athletics.
 
Thank you again Safesmart from all at Gateway Primary School.”
