The trust runs in excess of 100 football and multisport courses across thirteen weeks of the year in the London Boroughs of Lewisham, Southwark, Bromley as well as in Kent.
As a registered charity, all proceeds go back into the trust’s work at the heart of the community. With funding this year from Lewisham and Southwark Councils, plus support from the club and the board of trustees, many of the holiday camps have been free of charge to participants.
The Trust and the club have also ensured that every child attending the camps has received a free hot meal.
The camps provided activities to those families who needed childcare support, as well as those children in receipt of free school meals during term-time who would go without during the school holidays.
The camp activities provided multi-skills sporting opportunities to increase physical activity levels and benefit both the participants mental and physical health.
In addition to these activities and providing healthy and nutritious food for participants, the trust’s skilled community coaches also run community-based enrichment workshops to participants which concentrated on health and wellbeing, discussing issues such as healthy eating, heart health and looking after the body.
