Community football
Genesis Football Project
Genesis Football Medway is an exciting collaborative project between:
- churches and Christian organisations in Medway
- Medway Night Shelter
- Medway Sport
- Anchorians Football Club
- Ambassadors Football.
The aim is to engage with marginalised and vulnerable adults, those that are homeless and vulnerably housed to see an increase in fitness, aspiration, and positive relationships. This is through a weekly opportunity to play football, share a meal and for those interested, an opportunity to explore faith.
Being part of Genesis football has been fantastic, and seeing how everyone is benefitting from it socially, physically and mentally is brilliant. It's such a valuable local scheme for people in Medway, and I'm glad that Anchorians have been able to be part of this opportunity for the community," - Anchorians Coach Andy Brown
If you would like to find out more about Genesis Football, or you would like to share the details, you can head to the St John's Church website for full details.
Or come along and find out more. Sessions run every Thursday 10am to 12pm at Watling Park Football Centre.
