A free half-term Open Day is set to take place at Ilkeston Town FC later this month, marking the official public launch of The Manor Foundation.
The event will be held on Thursday 19 February, from 10am to 3pm, and will feature a full programme of activities aimed at children, families and residents of all ages.
The Manor Foundation has been established to support communities through sport, using football and physical activity to promote wellbeing, inclusion and positive opportunities for young people.
Activities planned throughout the day
A wide range of free activities are scheduled, including:
⚽ Free football coaching sessions for ages 7–15, walking football and penalty shoot-outs
🚶 Guided walk to Bennerley Viaduct, departing at 11.15am (meeting point: Club Shop)
🚲 Free bicycle safety checks and minor repairs
🍽️ Kids eat for free
🎁 Prizes and giveaways
Emergency services and local community partners are also expected to attend, offering opportunities to meet frontline teams, explore vehicles and learn more about their work.
The event is free to attend. Football boots are required for pitch activities, with loan boots available in all sizes.
Great way to keep busy during half-term!
