More than just a brand

Empowering grassroots initiatives through contributions from each direct sale

Why support Grassroots

Our founder, Emma Burke, is a proud mother of two boys who’ve grown up playing grassroots sports. These moments have created cherished memories for her family.

Seeing how underfunded grassroots clubs often are, Emma and her co-founder launched Laceeze in 2017 with a mission to give back.

With every pair sold, a portion goes directly to supporting grassroots sports. As our business grows, so does our impact.

Through the Laceeze Foundation, we aim to make sport more accessible for children from all backgrounds—helping teams and clubs that need it most.

Grassroots is at the heart of the brand and we support initiatives and causes

Frequently Asked Questions

We welcome applications for funding from anyone within the UK. This can be a request for help in finding a coach, paying for some equipment to get you started or help with subscription fees. Each application will be viewed and verified on an individual basis.

We can’t help everybody as currently all money from the Laceeze Foundation comes directly from our sales but we promise to look at every application and if we can’t help immediately we may be able to do so at a later stage or direct you to other organisations who can help.

Everybody has different circumstances, some children may be invited to join a team or club but cannot afford the subscriptions or you may require some kit to just get started. We aim to support children at grassroots level and at this stage can’t support athletes on any elite development programmes.

No, we don't sponsor kits, this is due to the cost involved which would prevent us from helping many others individuals.

We initially are requesting an introduction email to foundation@laceeze.co.uk
Please tell us a little more about yourself and the help that you may require.

The Laceeze Foundation funds come directly from sales of Laceeze bands. We will of course also welcome donations from benefactors which will enable us to support more children, or if you have an event coming up you could use this to raise money and awareness of this programme.
You can also support us by sharing our social media posts (find us on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter)
