Jamie Carragher pays surprise visit to view transformative Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC project

A disused cabin has been transformed into a new changing facility at Bootle FC as a result of hard work from volunteers.

A three-week project undertaken in September was led by Volunteer It Yourself, a company which challenges young people aged between 14 and 24 to help repair community spaces while learning key skills in the process.

The scheme is targeted at individuals not in education, employment or training and those with special educational needs. It aims to provide a sense of purpose for individuals offering up their time to take part in transforming places in need of essential repairs.

VIY's latest initiative saw youngsters tasked with helping create a revamped changing space for Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC, a club that was created in April 2018 with the view of offering football coaching to local, challenged children whose access to the sport has been limited during their life.

Boasting more than 200 active members, aged between 4 and 41, Bootle Bucks' Inclusion teams are split up into varying age categories, abilities and gender to ensure all participants find themselves competing in the most suitable area.

Those who are part of Inclusion FC now have a new area to get ready for games due to the successful VIY project, which includes separate female and male facilities.

Players of Bucks' Inclusion group were yesterday invited to gain a closer look at the impressive renovation, where they were greeted by Jamie Carragher.
