Vodafone believes connectivity is essential and everyone should have the opportunity to access the benefits it provides. That’s why we launched our everyone.connected campaign to help four million people and businesses cross the digital divide by 2025.


Grassroots sports clubs play a vital role in UK communities, reducing inequality and improving young people’s confidence and wellbeing. However, they often lack the digital knowhow to thrive.



With Sported, we’re providing free tools, training and insights to help your club run more efficiently, raise more funds and reach more young people.



Whether you’re a digital beginner, or more advanced, sports.connected has got your digital needs covered.
