Balls To Poverty are a charity based at South Nottingham College. They work with young people both here in Nottingham and in South Africa. The students fundraise to raise funds to buy rugby and footballs. They then take these to South Africa and coach children and young people in some of the townships. They also make a commitment to coach in Nottingham.
Starting on 21/02/12 Balls to Poverty are in Dunkirk delivering a programme that is half class based and half outdoors. It is designed to build confidence and inspire aspiration based around football. Maple, Cedar and Banyan Classes as well as Fun Club after school, will be participating over the next six weeks.
