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.
