It was a pleasure to attend the opening of the new 3G pitch at Winchester City FC this week. The project has been in development for some time now, but fantastic to see it open. As well as providing a first class facility for a Men’s National League System club, it will provide training and match play opportunities for all of the club’s youth teams. It will also be a training base for Winchester City Flyers FC, one of the largest female only clubs in the country. The Premier League, The Football Association & Government’s Football Foundation provided a grant of £982k with Winchester City Council contributing £300k via Community Infrastructure Levy. Special mention to John Mclaren and Ken Raisbeck from WCFC, Calum Drummond from WCC and Sacha Nicholas from Hampshire FA for making this project a reality.

Could You be a Parent to Ava? Ava is a sweet little girl with a big smile and a happy personality who needs a loving forever family. Adopt South, the Regional Adoption Agency for Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton is looking to find a family life for a beautiful little girl with a big, bright smile and a lovely, happy personality. Ava is 14 months old and has only recently started nursery where she enjoys being with other children her age, listening at music time, or playing with lots of toys now she is sitting up. She is very endearing and cheeky; she likes to play peekaboo with a blanket, hiding and surprising anyone who wants to play hide and seek. When Ava is out and about in her buggy, she waves as she passes people by and gives them her charming big smile. Ava’s foster carer Emma says, ‘When I go out shopping, we always have to stop in the street or the supermarket because Ava’s big brown eyes and her wonderful smile will make people want to wave back or they will come over and speak to her. She really is a delight to be with.’ Find out more here:  https://lnkd.in/ekQtqfXQ or call 0300 3000 011 ✍ by Adopt South Adopt South are sponsors of the Women's Senior Cup Competition and are also Headline Sponsors of Front Lawn Community Hub in #Havant. #Adoption #AdoptionAgency #Adopt #Hampshire

Hampshire FA's Official Road Surfacing Contractors and Headline Sponsors of King George V Football Complex L. A. Kattenhorn & Partners Ltd. have now completed a series of works at our Stoneham Lane Football Complex in Eastleigh. Our partners have line marked the west side of Stoneham Lane Football Complex's car park, creating an additional 40 spaces for users of the complex and highlighting clearly marked areas and other designated bays. This work was supported by Eastleigh & Southampton Football Trust. Additionally, L. A. Kattenhorn & Partners Ltd. were also behind the road resurfacing works at our Front Lawn Community Hub in #Havant. The road at the community hub suffered increased deterioration, escalated by excessive usage and poor weather conditions that exposed and weakened areas over time. Our partners resurfaced the entire road and carpark to support the facility and its many users and improve accessibility for all, locally. There are also discounted rates for all surfacing works for Hampshire FA affiliated clubs and associated groups. Contact our partners by emailing Holly Kattenhorn MCIOB Associate CIPD CertIOSH for a quote: Holly@kattenhornsurfacing.co.uk. 📸 from Stoneham Lane Football Complex.

Partner News 🤝 Powerleague Secures Double Success with Commercial Partnership AND Affiliation. Powerleague has affiliated all of its Hampshire leagues to Hampshire FA marking a significant expansion. The partnership between Hampshire FA and Powerleague began in the 2023/24 season and has already proven to be mutually beneficial. Powerleague has taken full advantage of the commercial opportunities provided by the county FA, while Hampshire FA has collaborated with Powerleague to support various events and tournaments throughout the season.   One of the most notable successes of this partnership is the new league at the King George V Football Complex, which launched earlier this year with 10 teams and counting. The success of this league has prompted Powerleague to affiliate all its Hampshire leagues with Hampshire FA, further solidifying their presence in the county. “We’re delighted to be extending our partnership with Hampshire FA and further increasing opportunities for local communities to access the small, sided game. Regular football has so many benefits as well as being a great social activity. With plenty planned for 2024/25 in addition to our eighteen (and growing!) small, sided leagues in Hampshire, we look forward to where the relationship with Hampshire FA can take us and the opportunities it will generate for footballers of all ages” Chris D., Powerleague National Development Manager.  “The perks associated with the partner programme have undoubtedly created more opportunities for both organisations. Powerleague has realised the potential of what we offer, and as a result, the partnership is going from strength to strength. Affiliating over 200 teams based on the successes of a season is evidence of what can be achieved when two organisations work together and find mutual benefits in their offerings. We hope that this successful case study will inspire others to follow suit” Neil Cassar, CEO of Hampshire FA. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/eeeWsGuP
