Friday Night Football 8.00 to 10.00pm
Since July 2010 the project has seen close to 200 different young people attend which keeps them off the streets providing a productive alternative especially during the light warm summer months with up to 40 participants per week. The biggest success of this project is the transfer of around 45 players from the informal nights who have joined local football teams and created their own 5 a side teams for the regular AGP league. Local team managers partner with the project to advertise their clubs and find new players. The project is supported by the local police Safer Communities team.
The project currently costs a minimum of £84 per week to run utilising volunteers to mainly run the night with one paid member of qualified staff on site. If you are interested in sponsoring the project please get in touch.
