We need a sustainable lifeline that does not leave clubs facing future ruin.

After changing the terms of its support in the middle of the season, the government must reverse its decision to offer loans and now fulfil its promise of a new grant.

Our clubs play an immeasurable role in communities all over the UK and provide immense structures of support for many.

Current government loan offers have moved the financial goalposts mid-season and jeopardised the future of our clubs.

Without adequate and fair funding, the National League will not survive, with consequences felt by thousands of players, supporters and club staff across the UK for many years to come.

We are asking our community and supporters to get behind the new petition.  Please sign it and spread across social media.  This is about 66 community clubs working together.

Part of the National League campaign includes establishing an online petition on Change.org. The link for this online petition can be found below.

The effect that this pandemic has had on all our 66 community clubs is immeasurable and we’re now only asking the government to extend the support that they originally offered.
