Funding for Frame Football players

Currently Esker Celtic are the only Club in Ireland who are taking part in Frame Football. The Frame Football programme gives players who require the use of frames/walkers the opportunity to play football, just like everyone else. The programme was started in Ireland about 18 months ago.  As we are the only club in Ireland who offer this programme, we are forced to look abroad for competition for the players. For more information please see the following links : http://eskerceltic.ie/football-for-all/ , http://www.fai.ie/domestic/football-for-all/frame-football .

The competition is located in St. Georges Park, England and will draw Frame Football teams from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is a great opportunity for both the players to play competitively and also to highlight Frame Football in Ireland.

We do need the financial support to attend the competition however and I am asking if you would possibly be in a position to help. We are hoping to be able to cover the cost of every player, one of their parents and all the coaching team for the weekend. This will come to approximately €4000.

Any support that anyone can lend would be much appreciated.
