Newcastle Town Football Club have announced two new partnerships with local community groups.
The club have set up a working Partnership with Staffordshire Youth Offending Service, and Gavin Appleby, Head Coach of the community project, explained: "This is an excellent opportunity to integrate what we offer at the football club into the wider community. This partnership is one we are proud to have, and will work with to improve opportunity for all".
The link will allow players to attend the club's Saturday Morning club, where football coaching and games are provided on a weekly basis.
In addition, Newcastle Town FC Community have announced that, in partnership with Staffordshire FA, they have now established a 'Disability Football Centre' that will be based at Newcastle College.
Over the past few months, Gavin Appleby (Head Coach), Steve Wilmore (Development Manager) and Roger Whitehurst (Chairman) have been working closely with Staffordshire Football Association and Matthew Hancock to develop opportunities for disability football within the club.
The 'Disability Football Centre' will run sessions which will take place on a Saturday morning at the college on the 3G facility, overseen by the Community section of the club.
Club Secretary Ray Tatton said: "Newcastle Town is committed to the opportunity to provide football to all, regardless of backgrounds and past experience, and believes these working partnerships will provide more opportunity for the local youngsters of our community.
"These are fantastic developments for the entire football club and will offer the chance for all members of the local community to get involved with the club".
