Wythenshawe AFC have been awarded funding to revamp their football facilities, working with the Football Foundation and the Lancashire FA to secure a £1200 grant.
People living in Wythenshawe are set to benefit from fresh investment into local football facilities. Wythenshawe AFC have been awarded a grant from the Premier League, The FA and Government’s Football Foundation, to Upgrade their Goal Posts at Hollyhedge Park.
The Football Foundation is the UK’s largest sports charity and exists to improve the experience of playing football for everyone, by championing fair access to quality facilities.
This grant will enable Wythenshawe AFC Reserves and their U18s, who play in the Manchester Football league and Timperley Junior league respectively, giving over 50 players and staff the chance to play football each week at Hollyhedge Park by improving their existing football pitch facilities.

Carl Barratt, Chair Wythenshawe AFC, said: “Football makes a huge difference to the players, coaches and community here. We see first-hand the impact on players’ confidence, physical health and mental focus. To receive this funding from the Premier League, The FA and the Government through the Football Foundation means a lot to us, as it will help us to improve grassroots sport in Wythenshawe and get even more people involved in the nation’s favourite game.”
Paul Thorogood, Chief Executive of the Football Foundation, said: “We’re dedicated to improving grassroots football facilities because we want to encourage more people to get involved in our nation’s favourite game, regardless of their background, age or ability. That’s why I’m delighted that this funding will support Wythenshawe AFC in Improving their football goal posts for the local community.
