Your support has given us a platform to input into kids lives through sport. we believe that the best way for kids to learn is by watching role models, so when the sports field we were using for 2 of the teams was sold to developers we had the great opportunity to show the kids in 2 of our teams how to face problems, find solutions and do it all with a great attitude.
The kids were amazed at how the Flame coaches and mentors remained positive and found creative solutions for practice spaces to allow them to continue playing the sport they love. They are now enjoying practising on a new playing field that is actually better than the last one.
The numbers of kids coming to practise has increased to 100 and the exciting thing for us is that 28 of those are girls. Your donations have meant that these 100 kids are practising twice a week and playing in a local competition each weekend. Flame teams win most of their games in the competition and the challenge we are addressing now is teaching the kids that being fair and playing with good sportsmanship is more important than the score.
Becuase of you - 100 kids are learning essential life skills.
We deeply appreciate you and your partnership
