COMMUNITY
Lymore Gardens is not your standard football club; our purpose is community engagement, uniting diverse groups, and igniting individual development.
At Lymore Gardens FC we are committed and focused on helping communities to achieve sustainable change in their lives.
We are efficient and effective in everything we do. We are ambitious about Lymore Gardens' growth and potential for even more significant impact.
We engage 250 youths and 90 adults through training, fitness, community satellite sessions and football matches.
Our club consists of 1 youth team, a girls club, with sessions within the school and other community groups for young people with additional needs, and three adult teams with games weekly.
CHANGING LIVES
THROUGH FOOTBALL
We harness the power of sport and physical activity to increase young people’s life chances through improved well-being, healthier lifestyles, and greater long-term attainment. By using football, we build communities that, in turn, develop the skills and tolerances to thrive as individuals and together.
If you know someone aged 16 to 50 who wants to play or is unemployed, contact us to find them a space within a local Lymore Gardens Just Play (train with Lymore) session.
