Our Community Involvement

How we give back to the community
With the funds we raise, there are several ways we contribute to the community:
For over 30 years, we've had the tradition of providing meals to our grassroot and junior teams after their weekly training session. In 2024, we had 180 children in our mini roo/junior sector of the club, resulting in approximately 3000 meals served throughout the year - free of charge for our players.
We also assist in subsidizing a portion of the playing fees for our young players to keep costs low for families and emphasize the importance of physical activity in children.
Additionally, we offer shin guards, second-hand football boots, mouthguards, and head guards at very affordable prices to further support our community and provide safety for our players.
Volunteers
In order to raise as much funds for our club as possible, we rely heavily on volunteers and we're always asking for more help.

Benefits of volunteering can look to;
- Relieve stress
- Increase self-esteem and wellbeing
- Develop and strengthen relationships
- Raise social skills
And more.
