Ladies Only Disability Turn Up & Play Sessions (Adults)
We are looking to engage more females into the disability game across Staffordshire by providing more female only opportunities within the local area for ladies to get involved with in a fun, friendly environment exclusively for ladies. We are looking to support clubs/ organisations/ groups with a grant of £300 to deliver Turn Up & Play female disability football sessions within the county. You may want to consider running a female session that runs at the same time as your male club training and encourage partners, mums, and friends to get involved.
Limited grants are available & the deadline to submit your application is Wednesday 6th December 2017. You will then be notified shortly after this date if your application has been successful. Find the overview and application form here.
Wellbeing Turn Up & Play Sessions (Adults)
We are looking to support clubs/ organisations with a grant of £300 to deliver Turn Up & Play wellbeing football sessions to support individuals who are affected by mental health issues.
