Partnership Significance
This is not a small footnote. It is a foundation for growth.
Multi-year funding changes what the charity can plan. It gives The Junction Elite Project a stronger base for access, outreach, recognition, family connection and proper evidence over time.
Planning beyond one-off moments
£20,000 each year for three years means the charity can think about rhythm, consistency and evidence rather than only reacting to immediate needs.
Merchandise with meaning
Wimbledon Foundation merchandise can become part of positive community moments when it is handed out thoughtfully to young people and families.
What The Award Supports
Funding that strengthens the charity's core work.
The award sits alongside the wider mission: helping young people access positive activity, belonging and recognition through football-linked community support.
Access and inclusion
Multi-year funding helps the charity plan support around practical barriers, participation and routes into positive activity.
Schools, camps and outreach
The award strengthens the charity's ability to build structured activity with trusted adults, families and local partners.
Recognition and belonging
Wimbledon Foundation merchandise gives the Project extra moments to celebrate young people and help families feel part of something positive.
Reporting confidence
A three-year award gives the charity space to record activity, learn properly and report back with more maturity.
Merchandise And Moments
The partnership is also felt in the small moments.
Alongside the funding, Wimbledon Foundation provides merchandise that the charity can hand out to young people and families. Used well, those items can help turn a session, camp or event into a moment of recognition and belonging.
Governance
A major award deserves clear records.
The partnership should be celebrated publicly and managed carefully behind the scenes, with clear evidence, restricted-fund treatment where required and responsible reporting.
Use the funding for charitable activity linked to the approved award purpose.
Keep grant records, spend, evidence and reporting separate from football club operational payments.
Handle images, stories and merchandise moments with consent and safeguarding in mind.
Report honestly on what the partnership made possible, including learning and next needs.
Reporting Back
What the charity should be able to show over the three years.
The Project should report the partnership with the same discipline it expects from donors, sponsors and grant funders: real records, careful stories and honest learning.
