🌧 RAIN DIDN'T STOP PLAY today at the Football Fun Factory in Taunton. We didn't let a little bit of rain stop us today,in fact, we'll only ever stop a session if we think it's unsafe for our little superstars! Safety is our number 1 priority!

☄️ IMPACT! I want to have a huge impact on my local community. I absolutely love delivering our truly unique experiences to the children and families of Taunton and Wellington. I am so passionate about increasing participation in children's football locally.

📷 6.5 HOURS is plenty of time to make lots of new friends! Football Fun Camps are a brilliant opportunity for local children to meet someone new. It is always great to see lots of friendships grow and develop throughout the days and weeks at our Football Fun Camps.

⁉️ DO YOU KNOW what the Football Fun Factory® mission is? We are on a mission to inspire children across the UK and make football fun for everyone. My daughter and I met some inspirational people at Bristol City Ladies WSL fixture on Sunday!

🌱 GROWTH IS OUR WORD of the week at the Football Fun Factory this week. Through our programmes, we help children to develop and experience growth in so many aspects of life both on the pitch as well as in other areas of life too.

🧠 WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY: This is an opportunity for people and communities to unite behind the theme. Mental health is a universal human right! Football Fun Factory®

🌟 KINDNESS IS A SUPERPOWER! Even the smallest acts of kindness can have the biggest impacts. I couldn't be any prouder of our Football Fun Factory® family for how we welcomed this young man into his first session!

🎄 CHRISTMAS WEEK! As we start the last of sessions this week before a short Christmas break, I'd like to say wish all of our amazing children and families a very merry Christmas. We've loved delivering the Football Fun Factory® experience in our communities and can't for 2024!

🌙 IT'S THE NIGHT BEFORE WE EMBARK on another two weeks of absolute football inflatable heaven! Final preps are done. I think we are ready for what should be another epic holiday period here at the Football Fun Factory in Taunton and Wellington!

🚵‍♂️ ME TIME! Has been something of a rarity lately! But it shouldn't be! I have a rare day off today from delivering any Football Fun Factory sessions so I thought I'd get out on my bike for a little bit! Self-care should be at the top of everyone's priorities.

🤲 COMMUNITY MATTERS! Embedding ourselves in the communities we live in is one of the things I love most about being a Football Fun Factory Head Coach! We're supporting lots of amazing events this summer, and we'd love to see you at them!

🏆 WHO'S EXCITED FOR THE EUROS? Kick off for Euro 2024 is fast approaching. England have just announced their provisional squad for the competition! Is it finally time to believe that England can bring it home?

😁 ALL SMILES IN THE SMITH HOUSE tonight as Man Utd won the FA Cup! Our superstar little girl is a Utd fan. I'm not sure how, though, as I support Liverpool and my wife, Newcastle! Our Tots joined in the fun today, too, as they practised lifting the FA Cup!

☀ A SUMMER SPORT! We are delighted to be a part of Capri-Sun’s free sport for children campaign. At the Football Fun Factory, we offer a 3 week free trial on our weekly football programmes, so being able to reach even more children through this campaign is incredibly exciting
