Your Team To Shine

Our group agreement 

Our tem name is “your team to shine” we are a group of 7 boys who are hosting a football tournament. The funding for our project will hopefully come from the charity run by usher (Ushers New Look Foundation)  which is £316 and an additional £300 pounds from a project run by O_{2 (O2 Think Big).}

Our project was based on what teenagers in Beckton and close areas do in their spare time or on the streets. So we decided to organise a 5-a-side football tournament where kids aged for 11-16 could enter as teams and play each other to become the best out of everyone. As well as this the winning team gets £10 JD vouchers plus a medal.

We are  organising our tournament in many stages. For example we had to secure a venue for our tournament, where we had 2 choices (our school astro-turf or a local field) then to organise equipment and schedules for what happens on the day.

some of us on the streets of Beckton to
find out if people are intersted

Mapping the area to see what exists

So far we have just given letters to our head teacher to see if the astro-turf is available for use for our tournament and we should receive a reply by the next 2 weeks. We will keep you updated on what happens.
