The Barclays Community Sports Award is open again for the 2011/12 football season.
The award aims to recognise individuals that use sport, not just football, to benefit
communities across the UK.

The award is made once a month during the Barclays Premier League football season
alongside those for Barclays Player and Manager of the Month. Each monthly winner
receives £1,000 for their group or organisation and a trophy. They are also entered
into the end of season award to win a further £5,000, all donated by Barclays Spaces
for Sports.

The award is delivered in partnership between Barclays Spaces for Sports, the Premier
League’s Creating Chances programme and the Football Foundation.
