🌟 George’s Premier League Kicks Journey 🌟
We’re proud to share George’s story as part of our Premier League Kicks programme.
Since joining, he’s grown in confidence, improved his teamwork skills, and found a positive, active outlet each week. His enthusiasm on and off the pitch shows just how powerful safe, supportive community sessions can be.
Hearing how much he enjoys taking part and how he leaves every session feeling uplifted is exactly why we deliver programmes like Kicks across the borough.
Brilliant work, George! 👏
And thank you to his family for sharing his experience with us.
