THE GAMBIA

Wycombe Wanderers Sports & Education Trust, in partnership with High Wycombe based Toolshed, are excited to announce that in January 2018 a combined group of 14 representatives from both organisations will be travelling to The Gambia, a small West African country, on a charitable expedition. WWSET, the charitable arm of Wycombe Wanderers FC, and Toolshed, who offer construction-related training and qualifications as well as personal development coaching to local 16-24-year-olds who are not in employment, education or training, hope to achieve numerous positive outcomes from the trip: Provide sports participation and coaching opportunities to local Gambian people in school and community settings; Provide construction expertise and labour to build a small stand/seating area at Kololi Football Academy; Donate football kit and equipment to the local community that will facilitate sports participation opportunities; Donate tools and building/maintenance equipment to the local community that will facilitate their ability to carry out construction based works; Generate funds to allow WWSET to deliver a sports & employability programme for High Wycombe based refugees and/or asylum seekers; Generate funds to enable Toolshed to offer free home improvement services to High Wycombe groups and individuals who are most in need of support.
