TESTIMONIALS
Robert Richardson - Service User
“Don’t know where I would be without the programme, coaches are like a family and can rely on them to help if you ever need it. The football allows you to let go of your problems for a bit and enjoy the company”.
Aidan Toner - Coach
“It’s more than just the football aspect, some people in the programme have come in and eventually went onto volunteering and new destinations, as the programmes helps with confidence, making new connections and making new friends”
