As the summer holidays come to an end, let's highlight some of the incredible community outreach our coaches have delivered over the last 6 weeks! 📊 The numbers: • 16 days of HAF holiday camp provision • 15 free community sessions across 2 locations in Oldham for boys and girls • 1 football event with local organisations • 1 girls football event • trip to amusement park • The FA's The Greater Game football festival • Plus Friday night football every week 🎉 Over 500 children have participated in football with us this summer! Our coaches might look like they're about to drop the hottest album of 2026 in this photo, but they've actually been too busy dropping incredible sessions for young people across Oldham! ⚽️🎤 Huge thanks to our partners and funders who make this work possible. Looking forward to what's next 👀 @AvroFC @AvroFCCommunity #CommunityFootball #YouthDevelopment #Oldham #GrassrootsFootball #HAF
