At Lemon Sports, we believe football is more than a game — it’s a powerful way to build confidence, connection, and opportunity. From school playgrounds to grassroots pitches, our community initiatives are about removing barriers and giving every child the chance to play, belong, and thrive.
We’ve partnered with local schools across Bromley to provide free footballs to schools and free boots to children from under-resourced backgrounds, helping remove financial barriers to participation. Alongside this, we organise school football tournaments to raise funds for sports equipment, bringing pupils, families, and teachers together for a shared purpose. Every kick, goal, and cheer contributed directly to improving access, facilities, and opportunities to play.
Grassroots clubs are the heartbeat of the game. We’re proud to sponsor local grassroots tournaments across Kent, London, Sussex, and Essex. Funds raised through these events go straight back into the clubs, supporting pitch maintenance, training resources, and new equipment. Strong clubs create confident players, and confident players build strong communities.
Some moments stay with you. We were honoured to support charity football matches at Sunderland AFC, raising funds for the Salvation Army, and at Tooting & Mitcham FC, where proceeds supported St George's Hospital Charity. Standing on those pitches, united by a cause bigger than the scoreline, were proud moments for everyone involved.
From classrooms to clubhouses, Lemon Sports is committed to growing the game responsibly and inclusively. We’ll keep showing up — donating, organising, sponsoring, and celebrating — because when communities win, football wins.
If you’d like to partner with us or get involved in future initiatives, we’d love to hear from you.
