We are proud to announce our latest funding has been awarded to Caister FC, a club with seven youth sides ranging from under 9’s up to under 16’s and three adult sides. With players, managers and committee members they have over 200 members!
The grant has been awarded to support the build of some permanent dugouts beside the football pitch.
The club provides people across all ages, genders and ability the opportunity to participate in grassroots football. Success is not just measured by winning but by how many teams and players they are able to give the opportunity to participate in sport. The new dugouts will allow all members to stay warm and dry, whilst they are on the sideline, not to mention other groups such as the cricket team for example.
"Funding for grassroots sport is difficult at the best of times but in the current climate, it is especially so. Caister F.C. is an ambitious club and to get additional support from GYS< is vital to our plans. We are really grateful to everyone at GYSLT that share and believe in our ambitions by the awarding of this grant." Alan Peace Chairman, Caister Football Club.
