Hi I'm Tina a parent and assistant manager of the Mitcham Park Fc U10s team. 

I've lived and worked in merton for over 10 years 

I seen a need in our local community and I'm asking for your help ❤️ 
 
⚽ Help a Child in Merton Play Football – Support the Kickstart Fund! 
 
Every child deserves the chance to play football — but for many families in Merton, the £190 registration fee is a barrier they simply can’t overcome. That’s why Mitcham Park FC launched the Kickstart Fund: to break down financial barriers and give every child the opportunity to join the team. 
 
The Local Challenge: 
 
An estimated 25–29% of children in Merton live in poverty — that’s nearly 1 in 4 kids who may miss out, just because of cost . 
 
Many of those children depend on free school meals — around 22% of pupils in Merton receive this support . 
 
Why Sport Makes a Difference: 
 
Youth who participate in team sports are 44% less likely to engage in antisocial behavior, and 14% less likely to reoffend when given ongoing support . 
 
A London-based study found that early sport-based intervention builds trusted relationships, creates safe spaces, and helps prevent future youth violence . 
 
Community sport programs have a proven impact on reducing crime and enhancing wellbeing . 
 
--- 
 
What the Kickstart Fund Will Do: 
 
Provide full or partial funding (up to £190) to children facing hardship 
 
Operate transparently and with full confidentiality 
 
Be overseen by a small, trusted panel from Mitcham Park FC 
 
--- 
 
How You Can Help: 
 
Sponsor a child (£190 covers a full season) 
 
Donate any amount – even small contributions make a difference 
 
Share this campaign with friends, neighbours, and local connections 
 
Our Goal: 
 
To raise enough funds to ensure no child is left out, and to help build confidence, teamwork, and resilience—one football match at a time. 
 
--- 
 
Join Us – Make a Difference Today: 
 
By supporting the Kickstart Fund, you're not just donating — you're investing in futures, deterring youth crime, and strengthening our community. 
 
Thank you for helping us kick-start a brighter future for Merton’s kids.
