Edge Hill University prides itself on providing opportunities for the community.

The University boasts impressive state-of-the-art sports facilities which have been regularly used by professional athletes across a wide range of sports.

The offer also extends to the public, and later this year, Edge Hill University is delighted to welcome more than 2,000 children each weekend to play football on the University's pitches through a partnership with the West Lancashire Junior Football League.

The aim of the collaboration is to shape the future of grassroots football in the region and is a shining example of the university's commitment to support our community.

Joe Nicholson, director at West Lancashire Junior Football League, said: “The partnership with Edge Hill University has been a game-changer for the league.

“Their excellent facilities and genuine commitment to community sport have allowed us to grow in both size and quality, giving thousands of young players the best possible footballing experience.”
