Millwall Community Trust’s Play on the Pitch Day at The Den was a huge success on Friday.
Starting at 9:30am in the morning with a Primary Schools Tournament - local schools were involved in the event.
All schools and participants played the tournament in the right spirit with everyone involved having fun.
Following on from this, Millwall’s Employability Hub programme alongside Millwall’s Alternative Provision programme played matches at The Den.
Millwall’s Premier League Inspires also took part but first delivered their projects to our Premier League Primary Stars with our secondary school participants from Deptford Green delivering a session to local primary schools across Lewisham and Southwark.
Millwall’s Walking Football session took place on one part of the pitch with over 30 participants in attendance whilst our SLAM Mental Health programme had their session on the other half at the stadium.
To finish off what had been a brilliant day, Millwall’s Post-16 programme played Millwall’s Archbishop Canterbury Post-16 in a well balanced and competitive fixture.
Millwall Community Trust CEO, Sean Daly said: “We are delighted with how our Community takeover Play on the Pitch Day went and it was great to see so many people enjoying themselves. At the Trust our aim is to create opportunities for participants, and this was shown in the event yesterday.
“It was brilliant to see all participants having fun on the pitch.
“Thank you to everyone who took part, and we are already planning for next year’s event.”
