As your MP, I am deeply committed to supporting grassroots football within our community. These local football clubs are much more than just sports teams; they are the foundation of community spirit, providing essential opportunities for our children and adults to stay active, build lasting friendships, and develop crucial life skills.
Grassroots football plays a vital role in promoting health and well-being, fostering teamwork, and instilling discipline and resilience in its participants. It is imperative that we invest in our local pitches, facilities, and coaching staff to ensure that these benefits continue to be available for future generations.
I will advocate for increased funding and resources for grassroots football, recognising the tremendous value it brings to our community. By supporting our local teams, we support the heart of our community.
