BigMat: Building stronger communities through sport

BigMat does much more than simply supply building materials — it helps weave stronger communities through its dedication to sport. With its flagship program, The Builders of Sport, launched in 2019, BigMat actively supports amateur and grassroots sport, encouraging both high achievement and local engagement.

This initiative celebrates and showcases the vital role that amateur sports clubs play in shaping young talent and passing on the core values of sport: fair play, determination, respect and collaboration. By offering assistance in the form of supplies and gear, BigMat helps these clubs create better conditions for training and competition, thereby supporting both community cohesion and personal health.

BigMat understands that many amateur clubs function on tight budgets and face daily hurdles. That’s why The Builders of Sport provides hands-on, direct help to enable clubs to upgrade their spaces and extend their outreach.

But this effort goes much further than just donating equipment. It genuinely reflects BigMat’s conviction that sport has the power to inspire, bring people together, and positively influence the next generation. By supporting clubs and their players, BigMat encourages young people to embrace the core values of sport while giving them the tools to develop—both in competition and in life.

Since its inception, The Builders of Sport has achieved remarkable results across Europe. BigMat is now the leading sponsor of amateur sport on the continent, with more than 24,976 clubs registered, 2,987 clubs receiving sponsorship, and over 76,220 players of all genders fully kitted out and ready to compete.
