Every Barclays Premier League football club is to donate a player to their local community and help raise the profile of organisations like schools, charities or community groups.
Additionally the Premier League will make 120 £4,000 cash donations as Creating Chances Places for Players returns for the 2008/09 season.
Launched last season, Places for Players is part of Creating Chances, the Premier League's flagship good cause programme, and showcases the vast amount of work that the 20 Barclays Premier League Clubs do in their local communities. Taking place from September to November 2008, one of the highlights of this season's programme is that every Club has a player and six £4,000 donations from the Premier League to give away.
raise awareness
To be in with a chance of winning one of these prizes not-for-profit community groups, charities and good causes need to fill in a simple application form. Organisations, which should be local to the Club, are asked to think how they could best use a Barclays Premier League player to raise awareness of the good work that their group does in their community, and also how they would use the £4,000 donation.
