TFC coach running the London Marathon to raise funds for the club
Dean Gonsalves, one of our TFC coaches, is running the London Marathon to raise money for the club.
As you know, the club is trying to raise much-needed funds to move to a new ground with eight new pitches and a clubhouse. The club is also creating a wildlife and nature reserve to the east of the site with walkways and a pond for the enjoyment of the local community, local residents and schools.
Dean has been managing the U14s Girls team this year and has also helped coach the U11s and U13s Girls for the past three years and is now coaching our new women’s football team at Tankerton Football Club. Tankerton has gone from having only 12 girls and one team to now having four teams and 80 players who train at different times of the week.
It’s been incredible to be part of the #thisgirlcan campaign and we are planning to open a new English Football Association (FA) Wildcats Girls’ Football Club as well.
The club has FA Chartered status and is a registered charity, run by volunteers working for the benefit of local children and young people who love their sport.
