Coronavirus grant helps kick off new football team for grieving dads
A NEW football team founded to help dads struggling to cope with the death of a child is getting ready for its first league campaign thanks to a coronavirus fund grant.
Sands United FC Salisbury has been awarded £5,220 from Wiltshire Community Foundation’s Coronavirus Response and Recovery Fund to cover the costs of hiring a training pitch for a year.
The club, by now boasting 33 players and three non-playing members, began training together at Bulford Camp in December, although they were parted again until restrictions on sport were lifted in March.
