Help support our fun football session for the local community

by Brushstrokes

Brushstrokes runs a free football session at the Portway Centre in Oldbury every Friday 3-4pm. It is a friendly, mixed-ability and relaxed session open to anyone who wants to enjoy a game of football. We divide those who attend into two teams and play a relaxed game of football until the whistles goes at 4pm. We are on the lookout for a volunteer to help welcome players to the session and complete a simple attendance list. On the pitch, the volunteer will be supported by a Brushstrokes staff member to help with tasks such as: distributing & collecting the bibs before and after the session, choosing teams, making sure the session runs smoothly and joining in with the game if they wish.
Pre-agreed expenses can be reimbursed.
