Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner is home to a host of grassroots sport clubs and facilities. This afternoon, it was great to watch Northwood FC play at home against Leatherhead. Although it didn’t result in a win for Northwood, it was fantastic to see the number of people who came to show their support for a local team.
It was also useful to hear more about Pitching In’s Volunteer Hub, an online portal which allows clubs to post volunteering opportunities for football fans. This is a really great way to connect football fans with the chance to support their local teams through volunteering, which is the essence of community football.
I am grateful to Northwood FC and the Pitching In team for hosting, and I look forward to watching another match in the future.
