South East Diversity and Inclusion Officer Jennifer Malone, facilitated a consultation at which 14 parents attended. At this consultation it was decided that it would be beneficial to pilot 8 weeks of football sessions on Sunday afternoons after church to encourage participation. The first session was attended by 26 children and 5 volunteers.

On the back of this, a link to support community integration, Big Hearts – a community leg of Hearts FC - have offered the group places in their forthcoming holiday camps to the children involved.
