handsofclay Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Several months ago I reported on here about how the Frame Footballers of Bristol had had their funding stopped by the FA primarily because they weren't involved in competitions, particularly international competitions, from which the FA could derive kudos. The organiser, Nick Dewfall of 2nd Chance FC, stated that it was a triumph in itself to get these children with walking difficulties to turn up, let alone play in competitions. I am chuffed to inform you, that Bristol City have stepped in and have attended some of the sessions and provided kit etc. The media team from City will be at the Frame Football tomorrow to help with giving this noble cause some publicity. So well done to Sam, the City disability development officer, and thanks to all those at Bristol City for stepping in when the FA stopped their funding.

handsofclay Posted January 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Whilst I have your attention, Frame Football is for children with cerebral palsy who use frames to aid their mobility. If anyone knows a child who has CP and uses a frame and wants to play football they can contact Nick Dewfall via the Bristol Frame Football Facebook or Twitter pages.

handsofclay Posted January 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 I'd also now like to thank Phantom on here who had been getting in touch with his contacts to get more publicity for the Frame Football and it appears to be coming up trumps. Hats off to everyone. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.G.Red Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Perhaps Gregor & Geoff Twentyman could give this some publicity through their respective media outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
