Kick On with Starling Bank
Partnering with Gift of Kit, Starling Bank has set up the Kick On programme to get more women and girls playing football across the UK.
A women’s club that needs a step up? We can help. A men’s club that wants to expand with a girl’s team? The time is now. A group of girls who never even liked football before summer ‘22? Sounds like a team in the making.
From glory to grassroots, Starling is helping to grow the women and girl’s football community. Last summer, we were proud national sponsors of the record-breaking UEFA Women’s EURO 2022. And now we’re on a mission to help women and girls gain confidence, life skills and a sense of community, through grassroots football.
Kick On provides grassroots clubs, schools and volunteers with free resources to take a club to the next level
