Our weekly Saturday FC sessions provide those with disabilities (and their siblings) with an opportunity to develop and participate in small-sided games and fun activities within a safe and positive environment. Sessions take place at the Beacon of Light, 9-10am every Saturday and are priced at just £3 per player – no need to book, just pay and play.
