Building supplies bursary scheme launched by the FA
Tue 17th January 2017 | Announcements | By Ian Templeman
The FA has announced the launch of a programme that offers all clubs competing in the FA Trophy and FA Vase the chance to win a £50,000 bursary.
The scheme is entitled "The Buildbase Club Renovation Programme", and forms part of the title sponsorship of both The FA Trophy and the FA Vase by building supplies firm Buildbase.
The company have created a programme that will eventually see two clubs win a £50,000 product bursary of building supplies to renovate their club and help build a better facility to benefit the local community. One bursary is for clubs competing in The Buildbase FA Trophy Club and one for The Buildbase FA Vase.
Clubs will be able to apply for the bursary via the Buildbase website, with the 6 clubs (3 from each competition) being shortlisted for the final stage of the competition. After this final stage, 2 winners will be selected and presented at Non-League Finals day at Wembley Stadium.
A FA statement launching the scheme said:
"The Buildbase Club Renovation Programme aims to help clubs become more financially sustainable and play a bigger role in their local community by providing investment into their general facilities.
The Club Product Bursary is in the form of selected materials up to the value of £50,000 (excluding VAT) across; Building Materials, Timber, Landscaping, Plastics & Drainage, Insulation & Plasterboard, Kitchens & Bathrooms, Plumbing & Heating, Roofing, Painting & Decorating, Electrical & Lighting and Tool & Equipment Hire".
The closing date is 17th February 2017, and shortlisted Clubs will be invited to send a maximum of 3 suitable representatives on behalf of the Club for an interview at a venue to be confirmed with the judging panel".
All applications should be accompanied by a business plan and submitted via the Buildbase website. More details on the scheme can be found by clicking here.
