Since its formation in 2014, the JAZZ™ Apple Foundation has always looked to support individuals, groups and causes that are close to our hearts and those of our fans and followers. That’s why we’re so thrilled to announce a trio of new awards that were handed out to deserving causes recently.
DC Sports Academy & Holbeach United Football & Education Academy are providing soccer camps, development centres, centres of excellence and football education to young people from the ages of 7 to 19 at the Holbeach United Community Sports Academy. Their soccer camps provide a fun and safe environment for children in the South Holland area during school breaks, while their development centres and centres of excellence, which run in the evenings for 11–16-year-olds throughout the year, help them develop as young footballers and give them high quality coaching and opportunities to play in exhibition games against professional and semi-professional academies. The JAZZ™ Apple Foundation is delighted to provide the club with a monetary grant to cover the costs of new footballs, bibs are training cones for their aspiring young footballers.
Oxhey Wood is a 2-form entry primary school for 3-11-year-olds in South Oxhey, Hertfordshire. The school is an area of high deprivation so one of the ultimate objectives of the school is to narrow the gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupils, and to equip their pupils with the skills to be successful and productive members of our school community and, ultimately, wider society. The school is working hard to promote healthy eating amongst its pupils and make their canteen a more attractive place for both adults and children to eat so that they are encouraged to share a daily meal together. The JAZZ™ Apple Foundation was thrilled to be involved and provided a monetary grant to purchase wall art for the canteen which features attractive designs filled with positive messages about healthy eating and good table manners.
Little Miracles South Holland is a parent-led support group for families who have children with disabilities, additional needs and life-limiting conditions. The group provides support, advice, interactive play sessions and trips and outings, and is opening a disability support centre and sensory room in South Holland. The JAZZ™ Apple Foundation has stepped in to help with their fundraising for new sensory equipment, tables, chairs and toys amongst other things.
