I’m delighted that the Football Foundation have awarded Merton Youth FC and AFC Wimbledon Girls (youth) a grant of £1,500 each and £3,000 to Motspur Park Youth FC.
The Football Foundation’s ‘Grow the Game’ development scheme, funded by the Premier League and the FA, aims to allow clubs to create new teams to start in the coming season.
Our local football clubs are vital pillars of the community, bringing people together and keeping people fit and active. I want to give a huge congratulations to the three clubs for being awarded these grants, and hope they can go towards helping get more young boys and girls involved in local football.
