The company is offering grants of £1,000, £500 and £250 to clubs, teams and societies located throughout the UK, regardless of whether or not they have received other grant funding or ever used Pestokill’s services.

The company plans to hand out £19,000 worth of grants to a total of 46 clubs and teams.

To apply for the funding, clubs and teams need to complete a short online form on Pestokill’s website that contains details about the club’s key activities and provide a brief explanation of what they would use the money for.

The deadline for applications is Monday 31 May 2021, and the donations will be made shortly afterwards.

Pestokill was established in 1985 and operates across every industry including food and beverage, leisure, hospitality, cinema, entertainment, healthcare, transport, retail, office, manufacturing and logistics, as well as providing its services to a wide range of sports clubs and teams.

Dave Clements, managing director of Pestokill, said: “We know from our experience working with lots of sports clubs and teams up and down the country that many have had a really difficult time during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, these organisations are vital to the health and wellbeing of the nation, as well as the local communities they operate in.

“We’ve launched this scheme to offer our support to clubs as we begin to emerge from the latest lockdown and hopefully return to normal."

Dave added: “We’re already receiving fantastic feedback about the scheme and we’re really looking forward to distributing the money and helping to make a difference.”
