More Than Football (MTF) Coaching Academy has been selected by our Central region to receive £1,000 through the Building Futures initiative.

Kamila Khalid, director from MTF Coaching Academy, said: “This donation from Persimmon is amazing news for our academy. We have more than 500 children playing across several teams and the money will enable us to hire out a venue for these children to play in.

“We are unable to run sessions as often as we would like but the funding will allow us to reach even more children, providing a safe and secure environment for them to enjoy.”

Although the club’s main focus is football, MTF Coaching Academy also run various different activities with the aim of developing positive behaviours.
