Funding for football equipment for Great Yarmouth Man vs Fat 11s team

We’re pleased to announce we’re supporting Great Yarmouth Man vs Fat with funding towards football equipment.

Great Yarmouth Man vs Fat football 11-a-side team has been recently formed by members wanting to progress with their journey through football. The FA-affiliated team are made up of people who are looking to lose weight and increase their wellbeing. Their philosophy is that “no matter what, things can still be done and achieved”.

The funding will help the team purchase football equipment including bibs, balls, cones, kit and first aid equipment. The better training facilities will help Great Yarmouth Man vs Fat establish and grow the team quickly and continue in the mini league.

Treasurer, Craig Cannon said "The funding we receive will help us with the bigger goal of losing weight, than the one in the net”.

We wish Great Yarmouth Man vs Fat every success for the future and look forward to seeing their progress along the way.

New football equipment for Southtown Primary School U11s football teams

We’re pleased to announce we’re supporting Southtown Primary School with funding for football equipment.

Three years ago, we supported Southtown Primary School in Great Yarmouth with funding for a football kit and it’s great to see they’re now at a stage where they’ve entered two teams in an U11s football league. Their current application has been successful and will help the school purchase league-sized foldaway football goals, pitch-marking equipment, goalie gloves, footballs and bibs.

The equipment will enable the school to enter more teams from other year groups and promote physical activity for a wider range of children in the school, including after school clubs and lunchtime activities.

“Thank you so much for your funding which has enabled us to take part in football events which our children would otherwise have missed out on. The new equipment can help our childrens’ physical and mental wellbeing, increasing self-esteem, personal achievement and a sense of pride in their team; with the understanding that taking part and teamwork are just as important as winning.” Zoe Chilvers, School Support Manager.

We wish Southtown Primary School every success for the future and look forward to seeing their progress along the way.
