Places for Players highlights to fans and the general public how Barclays Premier League clubs play an important role in their communities, requires players to 'get their hands dirty' and take an active role in promoting what their own club's community departments and foundations do all year-round.

Now in its third season, there are five Places for Players appearances from each club: four which showcase their own community work, and a fifth one that sees a good cause or charity local to the club receive a player visit and also a financial donation from the Premier League to assist in their work.

The major change to this year's Places for Players is with this fifth appearance. Last year there was a National Application Process where not-for-profit organisations applied to their local Premier League club to win a player visit, while five runners-up received a £4,000 donation.

Instead of National Application Process this season, each club will identify one local good cause that will receive a player visit and a £20,000 donation.

It is hoped this more consolidated donation will have longer lasting legacy for 20 not-for-profit organisations and the local communities of every Premier League club.

Some of the highlights from last season were Manchester City's Shaun Wright-Phillips helping out as a handyman in aid of Age Concern, Newcastle United's Nicky Butt working as a gardener for the Prince's Trust, Tottenham Hotspur's Jermaine Jenas going all Jamie Oliver to promote healthy eating to teenagers, and Liverpool's Jamie Carragher went back to school to teach children about the value of family life.
