Name St Christopher’s football team
Provider St Christopher’s Fellowship
For seven years, at St Christopher’s Fellowship, Friday evenings have been set aside for playing football. The attendees are a mixture of young people who currently live in our homes and services, and young people who have moved on or left care.
Young people lead on all aspects of the games – who we invite, when and where we play, and how we communicate – while us professionals listen and learn about what’s important to them.
From the start, one person explained: “Lots of places are running football but I don’t want football to turn into school. I want to just play football for football’s sake.” Another player said: “You don’t live our life, face our challenges, if you did you would see how sometimes we just need a bit of fun.”
