FC United good neighbours scheme

 Source: MEN

 The FC United stadium in Moston has got a lot of press coverage in north Manchester of late.

You can hardly fail to notice that something is going on in Moston – whether you’re in favour of it or not.

I think it’s also fair to say that, whatever your views on the stadium, the club themselves do a lot of work in the community.

Club bosses are now working with Greater Manchester Police, the council and other bodies to create a ‘good neighbours’ scheme.

Their volunteers will visit an older person who may be struggling with day to day tasks. They can visit once a week to help out with whatever is required, such as visits to the shops or the post office, DIY or just to come around for a brew and a
chat.

To arrange for a visit from a volunteer, or to become a volunteer, contact Michael Holdsworth or Robin Pye at the FC United office on 0161 273 8950.
