“GrassRoots Power CIC was engaged to manage a number of pilot projects for The FA to gain insight of LED floodlighting suitability for football. The scope involved drafting LED specifications, tendering 6 projects to various floodlighting manufacturers and a detailed ‘LED Floodlighting Pilot Evaluation Report’ received in March 2018. The pioneering work that GrassRoots Power CIC is doing is positively impacting grassroots sport. We can safely say that the not for profit structure of GrassRoots Power CIC as a vehicle to bring real change is welcomed and we support the organisation’s vision for ‘Net Zero’ football.”
