Witton Wildcats offer football sessions for girls aged five to 11 at Moss Farm. The club welcomes girls of all abilities with the aim of making football accessible to everyone.
The team applied to our community fund, linked with Redrow Hartford, to purchase their own football kit and four pop up goals that will be used during training sessions.
Mike Smith, coach at Witton Wildcats, said: “Our sessions are run entirely by volunteers and focus on fun. The charge of £2 per session covers the cost of the pitch hire but, to have our own kit, we needed some extra funding.
“Having their own kits will boost the girls’ confidence and it will also help us promote Witton Wildcats to other girls in the local area.”
The club will also use some of the donation to purchase trophies and medals so they can reward the girls each week.
“It would be lovely to have an award for player of the week, most improved player, and showing an act of kindness, resilience or being brave,” adds Mike.
Area sales manager Caroline Thompson-Jones said: “Our community funds are there to support small projects at the heart of communities. It’s so encouraging to see the Witton Wildcats enabling girls to play football from a young age. The new kits look great, and we’re really pleased we were able to help.”
