FA Charter Standard Community Club Status

The club is very proud to announce that we have now been awarded the FA Charter Standard Community Club Status.

This a terrific honour and we are one of only a few clubs to attain this status.

May we thank everyone involved with the club and especially Steve Smith for his hard work in getting the application through.

As part of this status we are building up links with all the local schools and possibly other community groups.

These links will I am sure ensure the future of the club and enable us to provide football for as many people as possible.

To give you a bit more of an idea what the award is all about here is what Steve Parkin The FA's National Game Director has to say about it: "FA Community Clubs are the cornerstones of The FA National Game strategy. Achieving FA Community Club status is not easy, but is achieved by clubs who are committed to putting themselves at the heart of their local football communities, not only for existing participants but for future generations too."
