Helping players and participants of the grassroots game through urgent financial hardship following injury

The Benevolent Fund was set up in 1904 to help players and other participants involved in football who find themselves in urgent financial need following injury

The fund is maintained by voluntary donations from the “football family”, for which the Trustees are very grateful. More serious cases involving severe hardship or long-term injury may be forwarded to the FA Benevolent Fund, but initial applications should always be sent to Hampshire FA in the first instance.

The Russell Cotes Benevolent Fund

Proudly Sponsored by

Harold G Walker

Funds from the Hampshire FA Russell Cotes Benevolent Cup go directly to the Benevolent Fund each season.

Each year between 40 – 60 teams enter the competition for a chance to lift the Benevolent Cup in May. All proceeds from every stage of the competition are donated towards the Hampshire FA Foundation Benevolent Fund, and this has been the case since 2003, when the competition commenced.

Hythe & Dibden FC are the current holders of the Benevolent Cup, getting the better of Hamble Club in last season’s final.
