Champions is an innovative programme supporting young people, aged 10-25, with experience of or at risk of offending behaviours. The programme is confidential and non-judgemental.
Development Centres
Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday the Foundation hosts multiple football development sessions suitable for ages 2-16 and for both boys and girls. It doesn't affect any grassroot clubs.
Extra Time
A two hour session at Hope Church in Lytham St Anne's every Tuesday for over 55s to attend. They have the choice to go for a 'walk and talk' and then come back for a brew and an activity for the final hour.
