Objects of the Charity The objects of the Salvesen Community Football Club SCIO are to increase participation of loung people in sport and physical activity. The club was founded in 1953 and has been offering football to children from the local c(mmunity for almost 70 years. Due to the re-development of Forresters/St Augustines's schools, the Salveson clubrooms on the historic school campus were demolished which has resulted in the club's football *tivity being spread over four different venues. Charitable status is the first step in Salvesen Community Football Club SCIO'S ambition to rè-establish a single site where all training and matches can take place. re-establish our position in the community and create a first class facility for current and future players. It will allow hundreds and adults, aEed 2-75 to play sport on a regular weekly basis. With the re-established Salvesen Hub, it will create citizenship and community and provide a welcoming space for local community groups to use alongside the football club. Working in partnership with local agencies and organisations. the club will create opportunities for the wider community who,will benefit from walking clubs, youth clubs and the new Salvesen refugee football team. Through our sporting programmes, we will provide volunteering, work experience and employment opportunities for young people. In partnership with Forresters High School, we hope tr) start an Alternative Schools programme for teenagers struggling to attend school and help them re-engage positively. The charity will initially target the provision of sportTng opportunities for young people, many of whom face a lack of both positive opportunities and sense of identity. However, in the medium to long term, Salvesen Community Football Club SCIO will also the a community facility which will sit in the heart of the community, providing opportunities and benefits for all ages and abilities. Achievements and Performance Salvesen Community Football Club SCIO are in the process of growing back to the size and st&us of the club prior to the re-development of the Forresters/St Augustine's campus and the loss of our ¢lubhouse and facilities. From the new project inception, Salvesen Community Football Club is now over >x) strong and continues to increase regularly.
