GRANT AWARD - SCORTON SAINTS FC
The 3R Foundation recently awarded £500 to Scorton Saints Football Club for 30x footballs!
They are a newly formed Football team that recently started playing home games at Carnforth High School in the Westmorland League division 4.
They are a newly formed Football team that recently started playing home games at Carnforth High School in the Westmorland League division 4.
Their aims are to promote social activities and build players self confidence as well as healthy living, eating well and keeping fit. There are currently 30 men signed, aged from 16 to 57 who play every Saturday and train together every Thursday evening.
As Scorton Saints is a new team they found that finance's don't go as far as they first thought they would, especially when they have to pay for a pitch and officials, as well as kits, nets, corner flags and footballs etc. As their Welfare Officer Richard told us, it has been a big learning curve but they are committed to making the new club work. They applied for a grant from the 3R Foundation to purchase a box of 30 footballs that they reckon would be enough to last all season, so August to May with 12-15 home games and around 40 training sessions.
