Higgins award to “Exmouth United”
Swan’s contractor for Exmouth Estate’s internal works regeneration program, Higgins Construction has sponsored the Exmouth Estate football team “Exmouth United” £3,500 to promote sports development.
This generous sponsorship has been received with thanks by Swan, Exmouth Residents Board and the young players on the estate. The money will be used to provide football kits for the team and they are looking forward to receiving the kits from Higgins.
Currently the football team is being provided regular football training by Tower Hamlets Youth League.
Colourful Summer 2007
Swan funded Tower Hamlets Youth League £6,500 to deliver a variety of exciting activities for children throughout the school holidays. This was to encourage them to play together and develop team working and sports skills.
A programme of activities was developed which included football, bowling, cinema trips, rowing, drama and a trip to Alton Towers and Thorpe Park. Over 80 children from all over Tower Hamlets joined in the fun and they all received an award for their involvement. We are delighted to say that feedback from parents and children was really positive and we have been asked to run further programmes for the children next year.
Well done to everyone...
it was great fun!
Saturday football for the Children
of Tower Hamlets
Tower Hamlets Youth League (THYL) has started regular football coaching on the Crossways pitch. Swan awarded THYL a grant of £1000 to provide sport opportunity to the Children living on Swan estates.
The coaching is taking place on every Saturday between 5-7pm and a FA qualified trainer is teaching various football tricks. 25 local children have already registered with THYL who are attending on a regular basis. Beyond football the young players are learning teamwork, discipline which will help in their personal development.
Children aged between 8-16 years are most welcome to join the team, come along on any Saturday and speak to the coach Aaron.
