A buzzy summer

Our Football Team travelled over to Belfast in June. Playing in an International Tournament. We were one of 78 teams competing.  It was a great occasion and a marvellous experience for our members.

In June we hosted our second annual Football Festival.  We were joined by 24 teams from all over Liverpool City Region.  The day was a great success and showcased all that is good about disability football.

As part of this Years St Helens Borough of Culture, members have been involved in creating a sound and film in tribute to George Groves.  George Groves native of St Helens moved to Hollywood in the 1920`s to pioneer sound.  He was the first ever movie sound man.  He won an Oscar in 1965.  Our work will be showcased at St Helens Town Hall Saturday 16th September.

Over 40 players from Buzz Hub St Helens cdp, Daisy Inclusive UK, Ever Evolving and Your Voice Your Choice learnt new skills from batting, to fielding, to bowling & catching – well done everyone!
