Our ‘All in Short Breaks’ offer aims to deliver a safe, active and inspiring environment for participants and families to engage with Shrewsbury Town Football Club. We will be working in partnership with Shrewsbury Town Football Club, Shrewsbury Town Supporters Parliament and Little Rascals Foundation.
Following consultation with our current ‘All in Short Breaks’ Group we will continue with lout offer to be centred around a Shrewsbury Town matchday. The offer linked to our existing exit routes has the following aims:
• Inspire children aged 5 – 10-year-olds to be more active
• Inspire children aged 11 – 16 to be more active and gain leadership experience
• Inspire children aged 16 – 17 to engage in leadership and volunteering opportunities
• Reduce the barriers for SEND families to attend and watch professional football matches
Activity will be delivered from our Community Football Hub and centred around a matchday at Shrewsbury Town Football Club. Sessions will be broken down into three age groups
All of the activity groups will have clear progression routes either from one age bracket to the next or to other projects within Shrewsbury Town in the Community.
If your child / young person requires 1:1 support to allow them to participate in our activities, we kindly ask that a Personal Assistant or family member attends with them to provide any support needed.
If your child / young person requires a full changing facility with hoist, please check with us about facility access.
