Powering your local club with Energy for Tomorrow
Community sports play a huge role in bringing people together. That's why Energy for Tomorrow – our community-focused fund – has launched their sports campaign. It's a five-year, £1m commitment to help local grassroots sports clubs lower their costs and become more sustainable.
In partnership with Team GB and ParalympicsGB, we’re supporting clubs to raise money through crowdfunding – and we’re matching those donations to help every pound go further. From insulation to solar panels, the aim is simple – cut emissions, cut costs, and help clubs stay focused on what they do best.
Energy for Tomorrow
We’ve been working with communities for many years to help them move towards net zero. Across the UK, we’ve supported non-profit organisations, charities and social enterprises with practical funding and resources.
In 2025, five sports clubs joined the first round of our new Energy for Tomorrow crowdfunding programme. And, with the help of more than 850 supporters, they raised over £140,000.

Case study: Ashton Cricket, Bowls and Tennis Club
Ashton Cricket, Bowls and Tennis Club set out to make its clubhouse more energy-efficient by installing solar panels and battery storage. The campaign raised an incredible £33,000 from 159 supporters, with matched funding from our Energy for Tomorrow scheme giving it an extra boost. That money is now going towards installation costs, battery storage and panel protection.
Team GB athlete Desiree Henry also showed her support, sharing the project with her followers and offering an Athlete Masterclass as a crowdfunding reward for 20 supporters. It was a great way to reach new audiences and attract fresh support from the local community.
