Over the Summer holidays, young people engaging in Wigan Athletic Community Trust's Premier League Kicks programme were selected to enjoy a ‘Big Day Out', made possible by Meals and More UK.
The young people were chosen for their positive behaviour, engagement and contribution to their local community through Wigan Athletic Community Trust's Premier League Kicks sessions.
Premier League Kicks is funded by the Premier League Charitable Fund and provides free evening football sessions, delivered by Wigan Athletic Community Trust, across the Wigan borough and helping young people improve their health and confidence whilst reducing anti-social behaviour in the local community.
The young people selected for the big day out enjoyed a fun football training session led by Wigan Athletic Community Trust coaches at Laithwaite Park before being transported to Scotman's Flash to enjoy some water-based activities, with it being the first time that some of the young people had the opportunity to access the activities at Scotman's Flash.
The event wouldn't have been possible without the support of Meals and More UK, whose ‘Big Day Out' funding enabled the Community Trust to take the young people to Scotman's Flash and also provide food and drink at the event.
