Sheffield Wednesday have a forthright approach in their efforts to increase football participation in Sheffield whether it be through providing development schemes, youth programmes or by encouraging people to become involved with playing or participating at local grassroots clubs.
Over the next two years, the Sheffield & Hallamshire FA will work closely with the club to deliver a range of community projects including health inititaves, educational sessions and coaching.
The aim of the partnership from both sides is to educate the community about the importance of playing sport to increase participation and raise standards, both of which are objectives outlined in the National Game Strategy by the Football Association.
