At The New Croft Foundation, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to stay active, make friends, and feel part of a supportive community. Physical activity is essential for a child's overall development, promoting not only physical health but also mental well-being, social skills, and confidence. That’s why we are dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment where children can have fun while staying active.
Why a Safe and Engaging Environment Matters
For children to truly benefit from sports and physical activity, they need to feel safe and supported. A secure environment encourages participation, personal growth, and allows children to develop their skills without fear of failure.
Safety is our number one priority. Our programmes are designed with clear safety guidelines, expert coaching, and an engaging atmosphere that supports children of all abilities. By eliminating barriers to participation, we ensure that every child, regardless of their background, has access to sport.
How We Create a Fun and Supportive Space
Qualified Coaches and Volunteers: Our experienced coaches and volunteers are trained to provide high-quality sessions that balance skill development with fun. They create a positive atmosphere where children feel encouraged to take part and develop at their own pace.
Inclusive Programmes for All: We offer weekly football sessions and half-term activities that cater to children of all ages and abilities. Whether a child is just starting out or already passionate about football, there’s a place for everyone at The New Croft Foundation.
Encouraging Teamwork and Friendship: Sport is about more than just physical activity - it’s about building relationships, learning teamwork, and developing social confidence. Our programmes encourage children to work together, support one another, and celebrate their achievements.
Ensuring Child Welfare and Well-being: The safety and well-being of children are at the heart of everything we do. We adhere to safeguarding policies and best practices to ensure that every child enjoys a secure and positive experience.
The Power of Community Support
We couldn’t do what we do without the generosity of businesses and individuals who support The New Croft Foundation. Their contributions allow us to continue offering these incredible opportunities to children and families in Haverhill and the surrounding areas.
If you share our passion for creating a safe and engaging space for children to have fun and get active, we invite you to get involved. Whether through sponsorship, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, your support makes a real difference in the lives of young people.
