KSC – Youth Football Section would like £1000 towards the provision of essential equipment for our 17 young football teams.

Our football kit/ football-boot exchange ensures equipment is recycled. As any parent knows, the cost of kit, particularly football-boots is expensive. Our young people grow so fast, new boots are sometimes purchased and replaced several times a season. 

By continuing to offer an equipment exchange, used boots & kit will continue to be stored and available to individuals and teams that need them thus keeping overall costs down. This positive and proactive approach from us helps to combat poverty and inequality.   

Amount Requested: £1000

Sports Equipment - £1000

The primary schools across the Isle of Arran provide a variety of lunchtime and after school clubs for all pupils across the island. Therefore, sports equipment is used frequently within timetabled classes, as well as the extra-curricular opportunities provided to pupils. To provide the young people on the island with beneficial physical activity experiences, we feel it's important that the equipment used is safe and reliable. In return, this will positively impact our young people's mental and physical health and wellbeing, whilst increasing confidence and communication skills, as well as giving the young people an opportunity to socialise with peers.
