Hawks in the Community

Whitehawk Football Club have announced a groundbreaking partnership with sports, social action and community organisations within Brighton. Hawks In The Community features The Crew Club, Whitehawk’s Award-winning Youth & Community Centre, Pleece & Co, VYD CIC, The University of Brighton and Your League TV, with the aim of creating fun football training sessions for young people, fitness programmes for adults, focussing on diet, healthy lifestyles on budgets, education through sport and much more.

The latest partnership, which follows in the footsteps of a string of other community initiatives, also includes a ‘Hawks Heroes’ project for men on the Whitehawk Estate over 35. This Nesta funded 10-week programme is part of a social movement in health and will focus on fitness, health & well-being and football. It will all culminate with a match at The Hawk’s Enclosed Ground in August. The Crew Club’s boy’s football teams have been renamed Crew Club Hawks FC, and the project includes a three year programme to develop boys and girls football on the Estate to create a pathway from Under 7’s through to Under 16’s.
