Entrust Care Partnership – Spartans Football Club

Entrust Care Partnership – Spartans Football Club ( for disabled children and young people aged 8 and above)

Entrust Care were delighted earlier in the year, to be awarded a grant of £3,000 from The King Henry VIII Endowed Trust, Warwick, towards meeting the costs of their football club which runs every Saturday during term time at St. Nicholas Leisure Centre, Banbury Road, Warwick.

This funding, has helped cover the cost of the venue hire, specialist support workers and a Sky Blues in the Community Football Coach to ensure the children and young people can engage fully.

They regularly had 15/16 youngsters attending each week, boys and girls.  Following practice, goal scoring, dribbling etc, they always play a match and have a Player of the Match who keeps the Trophy for the week.

They have now successfully secured sponsorship for their Football Strip.

The sessions have achieved the following outcomes:-

• The children and young people have developed their co-ordination, balance and gross motor skills.
• They have demonstrated increased confidence.
• They have developed an improved knowledge and understanding of teamwork.
• The children and young people have shown pride in their achievements.
• The sessions have reduced social isolation for both the youngsters and their parents.
