The grant will contribute towards the cost of new kits and 70 hours of professional coaching continuing over the season.
Happy Birthday to Stapleford Community Pavilion
 A year ago, the Stapleford Community Pavilion officially opened its doors. Since then, it has become a thriving centre for sport, health, learning and community life.
Here's a snapshot of the impact made in the last 12 months:
- 10,000+ football spectators welcomed to the hub
- 120 young people attending Steven Gerrard Academy every week
- 11,000 padel sessions
- Thousands of health and wellbeing visits, including e-gym users, physiotherapy and specialist support sessions
- 20+ new jobs created across leisure, education, childcare and hospitality
From football matches and dance classes to nursery places, health programmes and employment opportunities, the Pavilion really is benefitting people of all ages across Stapleford.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make the first year such a success. This is only the beginning!
Would you know what to do in a flood?

Stay safe during darker nights
 As the nights draw in, here’s a few safety tips to keep you safer when heading out and about through the darker months:
- Keep handbags, purses or wallets secure and never unattended.
- Only take out money, cards, or your phone when you need them and it's safe to do so.
- Drink responsibly, stay in groups, and never leave drinks unattended.
- Your safety is more important than belongings—don’t risk harm for valuables.
