Fernhill soccer school

We are just local volunteers who started our group up to get kids away from gangs culture and mixing with others,  Fernhill was not a nice place in 70s and 80s and we could see it falling back into the old ways of gangs and trouble,  so we decided to get to get together and start up football school and fitness training for kids starting them young at 3 years old and going up to around 16 years , we contacted papers and set out trying to get funding in to run our group for free , we got help from local councillor who infact is still helping out after 14 years we went to meetings to ask for help we set up committee and got PVGs in place so we could work with kids we got our coaches training and first aid training done , it took around 6 months before we actually started or football,  we are not team its all fun football and fitness but we can get kids into teams if needed. Its strange for me now am 64 and my grandson started at 6 years old in our club he is now a coach  ! We given out free fruit and juice and snacks etc every Sunday and we will always run our club free in our community
