"Me too" funding for Football Related Fees

The Scorchers have been contacted by Jane Davies who is the Extended Services Cluster Co-ordinator at Aspin Park Community Primary School. Jane runs a scheme which is designed to help with the costs associated with out of school activities, including club activities such as those run by Scotton Scorchers.

As we are an FA accredited club and have the appropriate checks in place Jane has confirmed that children attending training with the Scorchers may be eligible for support with the associated costs of their children participating in football training.

Me Too is designed to provide access to out of school activities and is available to families whose children receive free school meals, are 'looked after' OR are 'economically disadvantaged' due to another criteria and referred to the scheme by a professional (eg teacher, parent support advisor).

Any support that is provided is currently available for this year only (2010/11) and is available to all school age children towards the cost of fees, equipment or travel.
