Fairplay Football (NELC)

Quick Summary

Following the success of the NELC sports development and delivery programme in 2022/23, further funding has been made available to support continued delivery of the provision for a further 12 months. This will run from 1^st April 2023 - 31^st March 2024.

The project aims to expand the NEL Fairplay weekly football academies by introducing five new venues; Cleethorpes Trinity centre, Fusion community hub, West Marsh Community centre, Immingham Oasis, and Toll bar, culminating in a Fair Play League day involving young people from each area coming together for a team football tournament; re-establishing the NEL Fairplay league to meet quarterly throughout 2023-2024.

The area targeted is Immingham along with three of the South Wards hosted at Tollbar School.

The Fair Play League is open to both boys and girls aged 12 to 19. The sessions run three nights per week, 2 hour sessions.

Young People are diverted to the activity through local schools, Youth Justice and the YPSS outreach team.
