Storage Solutions Making the Most of Grassroots Sports Funding.
Grassroots sports play a pivotal role in bringing communities together, promoting health and well-being, and inspiring the next generation of athletes. Local clubs provide opportunities for children and adults alike to engage in physical exercise, develop essential life skills, and enjoy the camaraderie of teamwork. However, these clubs frequently face financial challenges, operating on tight budgets and relying heavily on volunteers, fundraising, and sponsorships to stay afloat.
This is an area where Eldapoint Group is very active, partnering with local junior sports clubs and grassroots initiatives to make a meaningful impact. The group engages in a number of local sponsorships, including recent donations to the Chester Nomad Lions U7, Westgate U9 Boys and Morecambe U9 Girls teams this season.
External funding is crucial to cover the costs of essentials such as kits, equipment and facilities. Another area where clubs can struggle is the provision of secure and reliable storage solutions for resources vital for day-to-day functioning. Fortunately, funding opportunities like the Football Foundation’s Storage Containers grant offer a lifeline to clubs needing these critical resources.
The Football Foundation Storage Containers Grant
The Football Foundation, one of the UK’s largest sports charities, provides funding to support grassroots clubs across the country. One notable initiative is their Storage Containers Grant, which helps clubs acquire secure storage solutions to house essential equipment such as goals, balls, and training gear. This funding ensures clubs have the infrastructure to manage their operations efficiently and securely. For clubs looking to maximise the value of this grant, choosing a supplier that offers cost-effective, durable, and versatile storage solutions is essential. This is where Eldapoint Group can make a significant difference.

By choosing Eldapoint, local clubs can get the most out of any funding grant. With decades of experience in providing shipping container conversions and GRP enclosures, we offer affordable and practical storage solutions that meet the specific needs of local sports teams.
Our shipping container conversions are particularly popular for clubs because of their strength, security, and versatility. These units can be customised to store everything from football goals and kits to training equipment, ensuring clubs can keep their resources safe and organised. Whether a club requires a basic storage unit or a fully tailored solution, Eldapoint delivers products that help funding go further. Another option is our Fibaform GRP enclosure range, providing lightweight, durable, and low-maintenance storage.
From Local Clubs to Premier Teams
Storage solutions are just part of our wider portfolio of sports amenities. Our units offer remarkable versatility, whether it’s an open-plan clubhouse area for relaxation, showers, a heated drying and boot room or stadia seats.
In addition to supporting smaller clubs, Eldapoint Group also supplies site-building solutions to premiership teams. One of our favourite projects is a collaboration with O’Brien Contractors for Aston Villa at their Bodymoor Health Training Academy. We were thrilled to provide three GRP buildings for the project, two gatehouses and a third two-section unit, serving as an amenity block and catering facility, both finished externally with UV-protected cedar wood. High-profile clubs and grassroots teams alike receive the same top quality, commitment and service.
At Eldapoint, we are proud to help local clubs thrive by providing practical and cost-effective storage solutions, prefabricated buildings, stadium seating, changing rooms, offices and cafés. From sponsoring junior teams to delivering robust storage solutions, we are committed to making funds go further.
