March 2025 update
Green Football’s Great Save is in full swing — and with just 2 weeks left, we’d love your help in spreading the word to schools in your network and encouraging them to enter the competition.
Encourage schools to take part, make a difference, and win amazing prizes!
From now until April 14th, schools can take part in the UK’s biggest football campaign tackling climate change — and it’s not too late to get started.
Here’s how they can enter:
Log classroom activities: Download our free sustainability worksheets (KS1, KS2, KS3) and track your progress on our website. Each green goal logged gives your school an entry into our prize draw. www.greenfootball.org/schools
Host a “Sew It to Save It” session: Repurpose old sports kit with a fun, hands-on sewing workshop. Watch Leeds Forward Patrick Bamford give it a go — and inspire your students to give kit a second life.
Organise a “Ginormous Jumble Sale”: Clear out your lost property and unused sports gear. Host a school-wide sale or swap shop and donate leftover non-uniform items through The Salvation Army’s ‘Recycle with Michael’ scheme.
Win fantastic prizes. Participating schools could win a Sky Schools Experience, a virtual visit from author Dan Freedman or an Usborne book bundle.
