HITC = A place for all young people to express themselves and to help young people fulfil their potential leading to boost their long-term outcomes.
Why are we crowdfunding?
Our youth club projects and youth football are free to access, open to all, and take place in Heston. Providing opportunities for all young people and abilities.
Using the power of football to change the lives of young people. Teaching the participants teamwork, commitment, sportsmanship, honesty.
Encouraging positive relationships, positive team spirit and togetherness always.
The HITC youth football league project will develop young people in football also offering a wide range of health benefits, including social, mental and physical benefits. Creating community cohesion leading to young people having healthy, active and social inclusive lifestyles.
How we’ll spend the money raised
The support will enable us to deliver the sessions free of charge for young people in the community and support the most in need who can't afford out of school extra provisions.
We will use the money to pay for venue hire, staff coaches, prizes, kit, equipment and promotion.
Community impact
We want to build community cohesion and reduce the youth crime rates going on within Hounslow borough and potentially save lives. By providing an environment for young people to be able to feel like they have a family to lean on and to have the feeling of belonging to a community.
We aim for the HITC youth football league to be a success and grow into an established youth football space for young people.
