Coronavirus: How our clubs show support in community


With football suspended amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Premier League clubs have been helping those in their local communities most in need. 
In consultation with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, the Premier League is immediately committing £20million to support the NHS, communities, families and vulnerable groups.
This includes a direct financial contribution to the NHS and funds to enable clubs to refocus their efforts and develop significant outreach programmes to help communities, including those most in need.
