INCLUSION
Through this collaboration, we are developing opportunities that combine football with wellbeing support.
Our first joint initiative is the Mersey Football Therapy Inclusion Tournament - a structured 9-a-side competition designed to promote participation, respect and community connection.
This tournament represents the beginning of a wider vision to grow inclusive football opportunities in the region.
