OUR PROGRAMMES

Brighter Futures

Through the Brighter Futures programme, both boys and girls in local primary schools are given the opportunity to gain a range of skills and opportunities surrounding football and other sports. As well as skills development, the children in the community have the chance to play and compete in mixed groups, emphasising the values and responsibilities of team membership. This helps to build confidence and leadership skills, whilst demonstrating that girls and boys have equal potential. This programme runs for an 8 week term, with 24 students - 12 male and 12 female.
