Former England footballer and queen of the jungle Jill Scott has joined forces with Starling Bank for its latest campaign, Kick On with Starling, which aims to increase the representation of women and girls in grassroots football, providing free football kits, coaching vouchers, and equipment to women and girls' grassroots teams across the country.

Scott commented 'The Lionesses didn’t just bring it home for England, we brought it home to inspire more women and girls to play the game. Grassroots pitches are where that legacy really begins. The cost of living crisis is worrying for clubs everywhere, but it’s amazing to see how hard parents and volunteer coaches are working to create opportunities for women and girls to play. I wish I could thank them all'.
