OUR AIMS

Our aim is to lend a helping hand in allowing deprived children and neighbourhoods in the North West to believe they can achieve more in life. This charity intends to deliver a positive message and to encourage youngsters to participate in sport and live a healthy lifestyle.

NEW FEATURES

New for this year is our Learn To Play program. We will be visiting shopping centres, car parks, schools and clubs all across the region.

Our giant inflatable hockey rink, complete with equipment, will allow thousands of children to participate in street hockey.

Utilising our playing staff to coach and encourage the children to participate in live sport, small knock-out tournaments will be held all over the North West.

GET INVOLVED

Our partnership with local disabled charities such as Jigsaw is also going from strength to strength, with many new partners already joining our growing network. We entertained over two hundred children with their parents last year, some of whom may become fans for life. Growing our family within the Phoenix is one of our main goals, after all.

This year we will attempt to raise the money to purchase our own minibus, with a special ramp and wheelchair fixings. This will allow us to invite families with no access to transport, so they can all be a part of the fastest and most exciting team sport in the world. This year we are raising the bar dramatically and want to take the number of children that participate in this element of the foundation’s activities to 1500.

SAY NO TO DRUGS, SAY YES TO LIFE

The Manchester Phoenix, through the Foundation, will also be sending out a strong message over the next twelve months. "Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life" is a youth drug education and drug prevention campaign.

The programme educates children as young as six on the dangers of drugs, and challenges them to remain drug-free. The Foundation will be holding small seminars, which will be open to everyone. A brand new roadshow team with trained staff and players will be going out to schools and helping children "Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life".

A HELPING HAND

The Manchester Phoenix Community Sports Foundation will also be lending a helping hand with three specially chosen children’s charities in the North West. The Foundation will make a special ticket allocation available that can be pre-sold at a discounted rate to members, supporters and affiliated partners who have never seen the Manchester Phoenix play before. Then, 75% of the face value of the ticket can then be donated to the represented charity.

The Manchester Phoenix have kindly donated 6000 family tickets for the duration of the entire season. The organisation is looking forward to introducing 6000 new families to the world's fastest team sport.

ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

This year the MPCSF will be operating in six specific areas, all of which will focus on getting children involved in live sport. As for many years now, we will be regularly holding our community Roadshows.

The Roadshows cover a myriad of topics, including healthy eating and diets, bullying, drug abuse and environmental awareness while highlighting the national curriculum. The Roadshow is run and presented by our players and match night crew, and comes complete with backdrop, PA system, LCD screens, video modules, interactive slides and physical activity equipment.

The Manchester Phoenix Ice Hockey Club, along with its partners, also makes sure that the participants and their families that have never seen the Phoenix play can come and have a great night out, and all for free. This event has not only proved to be of great educational value to the Schools and children, but lots of fun. Many, many schools already have this event in their calendar. Our aim this year is to put 1500 children, plus their families, through this element of the foundation’s activities in the next twelve months.

THE MANCHESTER PHOENIX

Founded in 2003, the Manchester Phoenix are the North West's only English Premier League (EPL) team. With squads ranging from the junior Under 10s level right up to the senior EPL ice hockey squad, all playing out of the 2,200-seater Altrincham Ice Dome, the Manchester Phoenix are a true family-orientated organisation.
