We are focused on delivering quality and innovative programmes across three themes: • Football Development • Health & Wellbeing • Education & Employability While the hub of our activities are run from The Jakemans Community Stadium, we take great pride in our broad approach to meeting the needs of individual communities. We can only do this by delivering activities at sports and leisure facilities in addition to a variety of community spaces. As with the communities we interact with, our programmes are ever evolving.
