“Haddenham Youth FC is a well-established organisation and an invaluable part of community life in Haddenham, so we are proud to support the club at this year’s Festival of Football 2024 as part of our commitment to creating thriving communities.

“Playing sport is a great way to support physical and mental wellbeing and to bring people together through a love for the game. Grassroots football is more than just a hobby, it’s a space where children can learn a new sport while developing important life skills, from teambuilding to communicating effectively, that will put them in good stead throughout their lives.”

“The team’s dedication to encourage and empower children as young as five years old to get active and play football is fantastic – it’s great to see the team thriving, and we hope they can continue to develop and give more local children an opportunity to try something new. We will be following them throughout the season and wish them luck in their next game!”
