Enfield Town FC isn’t only about matters on the pitch.

Behind the scenes, as many of you know, we have links with a number of local charities and a few days ago, we partnered with Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice to provide a special coaching morning for their so-called Siblings Summer Camp.

The event was run by our community coaches Adisa and Kam plus there was a guest appearance from Lewis Taaffe.

 Some 18 children aged between five and 14 took part in a thoroughly rewarding session and special thanks go to everyone involved.

Noah’s Ark, based in Barnet, helps babies, children and young people with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions, and their families, try to make the most of every day.

Those involved in the coaching sessions were siblings of the Noah’s Ark children.

 “We take a holistic approach and by organising activities like this, we’re letting the siblings know that they are seen and that they matter,” said Aaya Nader, the organisation’s community Engagement Officer.

“It can be very easy for these kids to feel neglected, even if not intentionally perhaps. Sometimes it’s difficult to get them engaged but they absolutely loved the football morning. The coaches learned all of their names and we are so thankful to Enfield Town.”
