Five Pillars of Mission to Young Adults - Football

Football

Football is a big part of our culture in Manchester.  We love to watch it, talk about it and play it!

Playing - it's been amazing to see how booking a local 5-a-side pitch brings young men together.  And people ask others to come and join them very easily.  Chats in the pub follow afterwards very naturally and the resources on health and well-being at www.fit4lifecourse.blogspot.com have proved very useful

For young men who are unemployed or ex-offenders being rehabilitated, Street Soccer provides a wonderful home and mentoring environment for them.  See www.streetsocceracademy.co.uk or speak to the YAM for more info.


Watching - We're so pleased to be partnering with BWFC to run a pre-match event for families called Faith Family Football.  It's a kind of Messy Church at a football stadium type event and it's ideal to promote through local primary schools.  See www.bwfcfff.blogspot.com for more info.
