We are a community-based charity youth football club that provides football coaching for girls and boys aged 5 to 17, giving them the opportunity to learn to play football.

Project Overview

Overview provided by crowdfunder.co.uk

In today’s fast-paced world, fostering connections among young people is more crucial than ever. At our initiative, we believe that friendships, teamwork, and the development of new skills can significantly enhance the physical and mental well-being of youth from all walks of life. By learning to play football in a safe, welcoming environment, young individuals not only enjoy the game but also cultivate lasting relationships that empower them both on and off the field.

We’re on a mission to elevate our program by securing a dedicated storage container near our training facilities. This essential addition will enable us to organize and protect our equipment, ensuring it is easily accessible for our committed volunteer coaches. Imagine a space where everything is in its right place — no more scrambling to find gear or wasting precious time on logistics!

With your support, we can transform our operational efficiency, allowing our coaches to focus on what truly matters: spending quality time on the pitch with our kids, teaching them the beautiful game of football. Every contribution helps us build this vital resource, bringing us closer to our goal of providing a nurturing environment where youth can thrive through sport.

R!SE Up

RISE with’ is our community led scheme, which harnesses the support of local organisations to provide life-changing experiences for young people. Coaching provides the foundation of our work, but we want to go further, raising aspirations for our young people. We believe the way to do this is by exposing them to new experiences, which have the potential to be life changing. Whether it’s drumming, boxing, parkour or cooking, these opportunities give young people access to new possibilities, life skills and passions.
