Para 1.17and On Thursday, 14th September 2023, Lewisham Labour Telegraph Hill Cllrs Luke Sorba and Joan Millbank attended our free weekly football session at Honor Oak Estate. The session started on Thursdays in July 2023 and has proved to be a success, wilh the young people and parenls on the estate being pleased there are FA-qualified and experienced coaches delivering sessions in the cage, which can be a place for anti-social behaviour to lake place. We plan to move into the Rocky & Wrighty Football Pitch very shortly to provide the young people on the estate access to a state-of-the-art facility. On Friday, 22nd September 2023, we had the pleasure of being joined by Karin Tearle, the Green Party candidate for Lewisham and Greenwich, at our free weekly football session at Deptford Lounge. Thanks for taking the time to visit our session and witness firsthand the crucial work we're doing in Deptford to offer young people a safe space and youth work through foolball coaching. The session started on Tuesdays in June 2023. and due to its popularity because of Ihe dearth of floodlit facilities in Deptford and New Cross, we started another session on Fridays lo cater for the younger children who wanled lo attend. We have had over 100 oun eo le artici ate at last count.
On Monday, September 25th, 2023, Cathy Dowse, the Labour and Co-operative Party Councillor for Mottingham, Coldharbour, and New Eltham Ward, attended our free weekly football session at Coldharbour Leisure Centre and said she was very impressed by our numbers, as the area is notorious for having poor youth engagement. On Saturday. 28th September 2023, we received a donation of 40 second-hand football bools from charity Sal's Shoes. who find new feet for preloved shoes across the UK & internationally and transform the lives of disadvantaged people. We gave out 28 pairs of football bools on the firsl weekend. which shows the demand for football bools from our children's parents, many of whom are struggling in the current cost-of-living crisis. We plan to have an ongoing relationship with Sal's Shoes and distribute more football boots to the children and young people we work with. On Tuesday, 3rd October, Lewisham Labour Downham Ward Councillors André Bourne and Oana Olaru attended our Downham Health & Leisure Centre free weekly football session. Andre was a Cllr when we received our first-ever funding in 2016 from the Lewisham Council Ward Assembly Fund and was taken aback by how much the organisation has grown since then. The Downham session is our flagship. which started in September 2016 and stopped in 2019 before reslarting in December 2020. It has been running ever since. On Wednesday, 18th October, Bromley Labour Crystal Palace & Anerley Ward Councillor Ruth McGregor attended our Crystal Pala National Sports Cenlre free weekly football session. The session has been running since March 2018, and after initially struggling to engage young people, we now have strong regular attendance. The session offers free access to a sought-after venue that young people from the local area have to access without permission and risk being kicked off. The session has removed that issue for young people. On Friday, 24th November 2023, Vicky Foxcroft, the Labour MP for Lewisham Deptford & Shadow Minister for Disabled People, attended our free football session at Deprford Lounge. The visit allowed Vicky to see our crucial work first-hand, providing the Deptford young people free access to a high-quality facility overseen by FA-qualified coaches. The session is a deterrent for young people becoming involved in anti-social behaviour and criminalit es eciall on a Frida
night when the young people want to let off steam after finishing school. 'Faces of Lewisham, is a project funded by Arts Council England to celebrate the centenary of Bellingham. Local young people have recorded a podcast series capturing residents, memories and stories of the area. Our groups of young musicians have reimagined these stories through music. As part of this project, Lewisham Music worked with award-winning local photographer John Mannell to capture photos of local people who make a difference and contribute to Ihe area. John Mannell visiled our Bellingham Session on a Friday night to capture photos of our iwo coaches. Rashid and Daniel. Our Deptford Lounge session has been running since May 2023, and in that time, it has engaged over 100 young people with an average attendan of 25 on Tuesdays and 15 on Fridays. To celebrate the young people's behaviour and consistent engagement, we presented two young people with £20 vouchers for Sports Direct and a trophy. The two young people were Donte and Kaniel, who have been regulars at the session since it started. Kaniel was the first young person to attend on the first day when Coach Kieran gave him a flyer on Depfford High Street while on his bike. Now, more than seven months, these young people and their friends are still heavily engaged in our sessions. We look fotward to working with them in 2024 and giving oul more vouchers and trophies. Sports Fun 4 All delivered a February HAF Programme for Lewisham Borough children on Free School Meals at Forster Memorial Park, SE6 1 UA. The children received football coaching from FA-qualified coaches thai provided Ihem with a fun, safe, and positive environment, which they would not have been able to access otherwise. School holidays can be pressure points for some families because of increased costs (such as food and childcare} and reduced incomes- more evidently with the current price of living crisis, for some children, that can lead to a holiday experience gap- with children from disadvantaged families less likely to access organised out-of-school activities. more likely to experience 'unhealthy holidays. in terms of nutrition and physical health, and more likely to experience social isolation. To address this, the Department for Education funds local authorities to coordinate a holiday programme during the Easter holiday that provides healthy food and enriching activities to benefit entitled Free School Meals reci ients.

The documentary allowed young people to see the harsh reality of professional football and the pitfalls that potentially await them. This was crucial for our young people, as many want to be professional ballers.

Although we didn't gel the results we were hoping for, this was still a good experience for our young people. On 3rd June 2024, we attended the UEFA Champions League Festival in Trafalgar Square. The young people could play on the football pitch in a round-robin 2-goals-and-off tournament. After the football games, the young people participated in the various games and activities thal were set up.

In response to rising youth crime and gang violence in Lewisham, a locally embedded organisation initiated free weekly football sessions at Deptford Lounge, combining football coaching and youth work. The programme utilised a hyper- local approach, addressing root causes of violence, such as food poverty, physical and mental health improvement, family support, education re- engagement, and recreational activities. Coaches with unique perspectives on the issues faced by young people in the area buill strong relationships, facilitated long-term engagement, and fostered positive developmenl. From September 2022 to Oclober 2023, the initiative delivered 204 free hours of football coaching, engaged 106 young people, involved 25 young people in HAF (Holiday Activity and Food) programs, and provided 100 free meals. The approach reflects a public health strategy, working alongside psychologists and mentors to prevent youth involvement in criminal activities. htt s'.Ilwww. outube.comlwatch?v=l ObQDBX'UY Sports Fun 4 All delivered an Easter HAF Programme for Lewisham Borough children on Free School Meals at Haberdashers Halcham Primary School and Forster Memorial Park. The children received football coaching from FA- qualified coaches that provided them with a fun, safe, and positive environment, which they would not have been able to access otherwise. School holidays can be pressure points for some families because of increased costs (such as food and childcarel and redUd incomes- more evidently with the current price of living crisis, for some children. that can lead to a holiday experience gap - with children from disadvantaged families less likely to aCsS organised out-of- school activities, more likely to experience 'unheallhy holidays, in terms of nutrition and physical health, and more likely to experience social isolation. To address this, the Department for Education funds local authorities to coordinate a holiday programme during the Easter holiday that provides healthy food and enriching activities to benefit entitled Free School Meals recipients.
