Join us on our mission to create a greener game in Kent by joining Kent Green United for the 2024/25 season.

Here at the Kent FA, we are profoundly aware of our duty to support the playing environments of our Kent clubs and the communities in which we all operate. With over 67,000 players enjoying the grassroots game in Kent, supported by thousands of volunteers, together, we have a big part to play in changing the way we do things, as well as using our voice to make a change.

Working together with our Kent clubs, we can help protect our local environments, unite communities, and make a positive impact on our planet. 

So, what is Kent Green United?

Kent Green United is a collection of environmentally friendly clubs, that actively carry out simple, fun, and regular activities within their communities to make a positive difference in their local environment. 

This could be through:

• Club & community litter picks around their local grounds
• Arranging regular boot/kit swap shops instead of buying brand new items which contributes to landfill
• Walking to training or matches to reduce carbon emissions;
• Or simply using a refillable water bottle, reducing plastic waste. 

What’s in it for my club?

By signing up to become a member of Kent Green United, you are making a positive commitment to your club, community, local environment, and climate change. In turn, this will unite your club with your community members and local businesses, helping to create a fantastic playing environment for your teams for now and in the future.

TIP: Get your youth players involved by creating a green squad.  These eco-warriors of today will help your club generate ideas and activities to support your green mission for tomorrow.

We are volunteers who are already time-poor. How much extra work does it mean?

That is completely up to your club. We recommend three activities across the season as a minimum.
