🎉 We’re proud to support the future of grassroots football! ⚽
This year, Glanville Environmental partnered with GK316 Academy, a well-established and community-driven goalkeeper training group based in Exeter and East Devon. Led by the incredible Gillian, a UEFA B Licence GK coach and part of the Lionesses pathway, GK316 has been developing young goalkeepers aged 7–18 for over 13 years.
Our sponsorship is helping two inspiring young volunteers, Matilda and Evan, take their first steps toward becoming qualified UEFA GK coaches. Both are already giving back to the football community, coaching, refereeing, and supporting younger players, and now they’ll be able to gain their FA Introduction to Coaching, First Aid, and Safeguarding qualifications.
💙 What makes GK316 special?
Affordable, inclusive training
Strong community ties
Proven track record of developing talent into the academy and semi-pro football
A focus on mentoring and empowering the next generation of coaches
This is more than just a sponsorship; it’s an investment in young people, grassroots sport, and the future of football. ⚽👏
