🎄 SEND Football Celebration! ⚽️

Yesterday we held our final SEND U16s and U12s Comets session of the year — and what a festive finish it was! Our participants enjoyed Christmas-themed activities, followed by a special gift from Grimsby Town Foundation.

It wasn’t just our participants who received a festive surprise. Thanks to the North East Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum (NELPCF), all of our parents and carers received a gift too. ❤️

We’re incredibly proud of the little SEND community we’ve built — a place where we learn, grow, and support each other. We are stronger together.

Wishing all our parents, carers, and most importantly our amazing participants a very Merry Christmas! 🎅🎁

SEND Schools Delivery – End of Term Football Tournament ⚽

As part of our ongoing SEND Schools Delivery Programme, we celebrate the end of each term with an inclusive sporting tournament designed to bring students together, build confidence, and encourage teamwork.

Last half term our focus was basketball 🏀 — but this time, it was all about football, and the energy on the pitch was incredible!

We welcomed around 30 enthusiastic participants from both Cambridge Park Academy and Orchard Education, all ready to showcase their skills, support one another, and enjoy a fun-filled morning of sport.

The final featured a team from both Cambridge Park and Orchard Education, and after an exciting and competitive game, Cambridge Park Academy came out on top with a 3–1 victory!

It was an absolutely fantastic morning of football, teamwork, determination, and smiles all around. A huge well done to every participant who took part, and a big thank you to the staff who continue to support these valuable opportunities.

We’re already looking forward to the next tournament! ⚽🙌

Player Visits at Our Priority and Partner Schools ⚽

Last week, we were delighted to welcome several GTFC First Team players to our priority and partner schools, giving pupils a truly memorable and inspiring experience.

The purpose of these visits was to give the players a valuable insight into the impact the Foundation delivers in schools as part of our school delivery programmes, while allowing pupils to engage directly with professional footballers and learn more about teamwork, resilience and healthy lifestyles.

On Monday, Jaze Kabia and Justin Amaluzor visited Woodlands Academy, observing Premier League Primary Stars interventions before joining a KS1 multi-sports club, where pupils were fully engaged and excited to take part.

Charles Vernam and Cam McJannet visited William Barcroft for a Q&A session with selected pupils, followed by a girls-only Premier League Primary Stars after-school club. Both players led teams within the session, helping to motivate, encourage and build confidence among participants.

Finally, on Thursday, Doug Tharme and Seb Auton visited Western Primary School for a Q&A session with intervention groups and joined a girls-only football session, providing guidance, support and inspiration throughout.

These player visits are incredibly valuable to our community, helping to inspire young people, boost confidence and raise aspirations — while giving players a meaningful insight into the Foundation’s work within local schools.

Last week as part of our SEND provision we facilitated a Basketball Tournament. We had 3 teams from Cambridge Park and 3 teams from Orchard attend the tournament hosted by Cambridge Park. Our 6 teams battled through a full round-robin, followed by intense semi-finals and an action-packed final to close the tournament.

The energy was high, the support was amazing, and every player showed true passion and resilience on the court.

A huge thank you to all the participants and staff who made the event such a success. You created an atmosphere full of encouragement and inclusion.

🏆 Congratulations to Cambridge Park Purple for winning the trophy!
Here’s to many more SEND sporting events that celebrate ability, teamwork.

ABILITY COUNTS | FINAL LEAGUE FIXTURE ROUNDUP 🌟

A huge day at Clee Fields as Grimsby Town Foundation’s Ability Counts teams took to the pitch for the final league fixtures of the CJ Conversions Lincolnshire Ability Counts winter season — with everything still to play for at the top of the table.

Our Premiership squad, featuring a few changes including Connor making his debut in the first team, showed incredible character and consistency. They went the entire day unbeaten, drawing 2–2 with Boston, snatching a late 2–1 win over Barton Inclusive, and finishing in style with a 4–2 victory over our second Premiership side. Their efforts paid off as they were crowned Winter League Champions! 🏆

Our League One team battled through a mixed set of results but found exactly what they needed to clinch the League One title, securing a brilliant end to their winter campaign.

Meanwhile, both of our League Two teams recorded their best performances of the season so far — each picking up 8 points and going the whole fixture day unbeaten. A fantastic sign of progress and development across the board.

👏 A huge well done to all players, coaches, and supporters. What a way to end the winter league! ⚫️⚪️
