Club Hub
The Herts Sports Partnership recognise that local sports clubs, through the efforts of their huge voluntary workforce, play a crucial part in making people in Hertfordshire more physically active and healthy while making communities better and safer places to live and work, and we continue to work hard to support them.
We estimate that there are at least 2,500 sports clubs in Hertfordshire and approximately 100,000 sports volunteers, which represents 12% of the adult population. We have taken the opinions of our clubs, their National Governing Bodies of Sport and Hertfordshire local authorities and have developed a club support offer that meets their needs.

Introducing The Grassroots Initiative from Croft Communications
We’ve teamed up with Croft Communications, a Hertfordshire based telecommunications provider, to bring you the Grassroots Initiative, a simple way to raise valuable funds for your club.
Businesses connected to your club already buy a mix of telecoms solutions. By simply referring them to Croft Communications, you can generate valuable, long-term income for your club.
How it works – 2 simple steps:
- Businesses simply redirect their existing communications spend by switching to Croft’s cutting-edge telecom services
- Croft then inject a percentage of the cash they spend back into your local sports club
By switching, on average, one referred business alone could contribute £900+ to your local sports club every year!
No effort or hassle – Croft take care of everything
- Businesses take advantage of Croft’s full range of innovative telecom products and services
- Businesses get better solutions to improve their communications systems AND save money
- You secure a regular revenue stream for your local sports club, used to fund improved equipment and kits, repairs, new stands, clubhouse facilities and more
