Seeking Football Boot Donations

At WASP, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to participate in sport. Unfortunately, many aspiring players in our community face barriers due to the lack of proper equipment, such as football boots.

Do you have any football boots that you no longer use? By donating them, you can make a huge difference!

We are specifically looking for:

- Moulded stud football boots
- Adult sizes 3-9

If you can help, please contact: [email protected]

Thank you for your support!

🎓 Womens Football Research⚽

Could you spare 5 minutes to complete a survey on perceptions of women’s football in the UK? Lauren Srawley, a student at Bath University, is conducting this study to explore if the growing popularity of women’s football is changing how people see the sport.

Lauren has been playing football in Wiltshire since she was 8 and currently plays for Westbury Ladies FC.

She needs at least 200 participants for her study. So if you're 18 or older, whether you're involved in football or not, please support her by filling out the survey here: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/bathreg/perceptions-of-women-s-football-in-the-uk-practice-survey-dupli

Your participation would be greatly appreciated and will help provide valuable insights into the sport.
