Establised in 1969, we are a local Charity comprised entirely of
unpaid volunteers, running football for
350 youths
between 6 and 20 years old, both boys and girls, all of whom
receive FA qualified coaching.
In 1991 we were awarded Charitable
status on an objective of providing recreation regardless of
Race, Sex, Colour, Creed, Disability, Religion or affordability
and subsidise many children who otherwise would have no access
to facilities. We work in the most culturally diverse and
deprived area of North-West London.
In 2002 we were the first Club in
the London Borough of Barnet to receive the FA Charter Standard
accreditation and in August 2004 FA
Development Club Status was achieved.
