Sky Blues in the Community: CCFC supporting inclusion, health and training for all
Mary at the CCFC ground with Dave Busst and Harvey Morgan
At the Coventry Arena I caught up with Dave Busst and Harvey Morgan to discuss how Sky Blues in the Community is changing the lives of people in Coventry and Warwickshire.
The special connection people have to Coventry City Football Club provides a unique and powerful way to support, influence and develop meaningful opportunities across many different communities.
It was great to hear about just a few of their projects, which included:
Getting girls involved in football at school
Setting up a Muslim Supporters Club
Walking football groups groups for people with Parkinsons, people recovering post-cancer
Promoting activities combat obesity and improve mental health in children and adults.
Their community programmes help improving health and wellbeing, encourage involvement from under-represented and deprived groups, reduce involvement in crime and expand education and training opportunities in the Coventry.
If you would like to find out more about what they do, or get more active and involved yourself, go to their website.
