Teamwork Community Projects was setup by Cheshire Lines Football Club to offer a platform for grassroots clubs to promote what they do to help the community.

The club takes seriously its responsibility to support players in their family or professional life, but there are many in our society who have hit hard times or need some extra support and might not be able to a turn to a club like ours for support. We wanted to reach out to those people and do our bit.

For the last two seasons we have asked people to donate food or toiletry products which can help those not able to afford to get it for themselves or their family. If every person donated £2 worth of stuff each week we would be able to donate nearly £100 worth of items. That’s say £10 per month to me and you – which in the general scheme of things doesn’t mean a lot, but to these people it offers them support, hope and some dignity when they need it most.

The club hope that fellow West Cheshire League teams will, in time, join them in the campaign, with the club offering to donate the contributions to the food bank most local to the ground where our games are being held.
