Why support Grassroots
Our founder, Emma Burke, is a mother of two incredibly active boys who have been involved in sports at the grassroots level since a young age. Emma highlights that these experiences have created some of the most cherished memories for her family.
Recognizing the significant underfunding of grassroots sports, with clubs and teams constantly in need of support, Emma and her co-founder were motivated to give back when they launched the Laceeze brand in 2017.
Through the sale of every pair of bands on our website, a portion of the proceeds is directed towards grassroots causes.
Emma emphasises that as our business expands, so does our commitment to this charitable aspect.
The Laceeze Foundation envisions a future where sports are accessible to all, aiming to support children from underprivileged backgrounds by providing funds and aiding clubs and teams in need.

AFC Greencourt needed to replace their plastic goals to folding aluminium ones. They obtained a grant from The Football Foundation for 75% of the cost (£4000) and ran a fundraising effort for the remaining 25%. We helped donate towards this effort and they successfully reached their target.
Providing water bottles to Medway RFC - we recently donated a complete team water bottle set, complete with hygiene caps to facilitate sharing among the players. This club asked us to help as they are from an incredibly deprived area and it was apparent that some children didn't have the necessary equipment needed to play their sport
