FOREST HALL JUNIORS CELEBRATE FOOTBALL FUNDING SUCCESS
Footballers in Forest Hall were celebrating today following a £8,871 award by the Football Foundation, the UK’s largest sports charity.
The cash bonanza will allow Forest Hall Juniors Football Club to develop new football teams. These teams include a mini-soccer team at under 8’s age-group and two girls teams; one at under 10’s and one at under 12’s age-groups.
The Football Foundation is dedicated to revitalising the grass roots of the game, constructing modern football facilities, developing football as a force for social cohesion and as a vehicle for education in communities throughout the country. Funded by the FA Premier League, The Football Association, Sport England and the Government, the Football Foundation is the nation’s largest sports charity with a £45m budget going straight into the heart of football.
Paul Thorogood, Chief Executive of the Football Foundation said:
“We warmly congratulate the club and Northumberland County FA for their hard work and dedication in securing this award.
“Grass roots football is the lifeblood of the game in this country which is why is vital that projects such as this now have the benefit of Foundation cash.”
