Holbeach United Community Sports Academy raises £1,500 at Neon Ball




A neon-themed ball featuring brightly dressed guests and radiant decorations has raised a gleaming £1,500 for a sports academy.

Holbeach United Community Sports Academy, based at Penny Hill, held an end of season event at Holbeach Community Centre with some 160 guests attending.

The academy is a football facility for youngsters from the age of seven to 17 who can then go on to play for Holbeach United and other big teams.

Mandy Baxter, fundraising team member, said: “Everyone had a fantastic night.

“Holbeach is a big footballing town and we are so lucky to have this facility.

“It is so much more than a football club - it is a saviour for the kids a lot of the time.”
