<p>Today on In The Box, we’re at the opening of the brand new Mary Earps 3G pitch in Nottingham, the new home turf for Calverton Miners Welfare FC, Arnold Eagles Girls and Ladies FC, and a wealth of local teams. We caught up with the Lionesses legend herself, Mary Earps MBE, for her thoughts on how the football landscape is changing for the better for women and girls, and how facilities play a vital role in continuing this momentum. Viv Corcoran of Calverton Miners Welfare FC and FA Club Consultant Bob Stretton also joined us in this episode to discuss how they secured funding for the new pitch through the Football Foundation, with a Director from the Football Foundation, John Paul Considine, adding his insight later in the episode. He takes us through the growth and country-wide demand they’re receiving for more resources, with equal access for women and girls a key focus of their efforts. </p><p>Support women’s and girls’ football at your local club with these resources and funding initiatives: 🔹 Lionesses HERe to Play Fund: <a href="https://footballfoundation.org.uk/grant/lionesses-here-to-play-fund"><u>https://footballfoundation.org.uk/grant/lionesses-here-to-play-fund</u></a></p><p>🔹 Female Football at Your Club:<a href="https://www.englandfootball.com/femalefootballatyourclub"> <u>https://www.englandfootball.com/femalefootballatyourclub</u></a></p><p>🔹 Play On: <a href="https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/leagues-and-clubs/Female-Football-at-Your-Club/Play-On"><u>https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/leagues-and-clubs/Female-Football-at-Your-Club/Play-On</u></a></p><p>🔹 More Programmes:<a href="https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/England-Football-Providers"> <u>https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/England-Football-Providers</u><br></a></p><p>Find your local County FA: <a href="https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/leagues-and-clubs/county-football-associations" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/leagues-and-clubs/county-football-associations</a></p><p><br></p><p>England Football Accredited: <a href="https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/leagues-and-clubs/england-football-accreditation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/leagues-and-clubs/england-football-accreditation</a></p><p><br></p><p>Keep up to date with The Club Hub on social media:</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/thefaclubhub/</p><p>https://www.tiktok.com/@thefaclubhub</p><p>https://www.facebook.com/TheFAClubHub</p>

<p>In this episode of In the Box, we visit Redditch United to see what it really means to be more than a football club. Chairman David shares the club’s vision for supporting the town, and how creating a Social Impact Report has helped them turn great work into tangible numbers they can use with partners and stakeholders. Alongside FA Club Consultant Rus Smith and the club team, we also break down how the Club Impact Calculator works, what it measures (from wellbeing to economic value), and how it can help clubs unlock new opportunities for growth, funding and facility development.To access the club impact calculator, you’ll first need to be an England Football Accredited Club. Then, simply reach out to your County FA to find out how to get started with the Club Impact Calculator.<strong>Find your local County FA: </strong><a href="https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/leagues-and-clubs/county-football-associations" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/leagues-and-clubs/county-football-associations</a><strong>England Football Accredited: </strong><a href="https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/leagues-and-clubs/england-football-accreditation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.englandfootball.com/participate/leagues-and-clubs/england-football-accreditation</a></p>

<p>Ever since Leah Williamson lifted the trophy and crowned the Lionesses champions of Europe, women’s football has hit centre stage. More funding, more spaces, more champions than ever before 💪 As part of the Women’s Euros Legacy Project, Nike has given communities of women the spark and support to get behind the ball. In this innovative episode of In The Box, we’ll be having a look at two of these incredible projects working in conjunction with Manchester FA. First up, Charlotte travels down to an Indian Temple over in Oldham, to check out a young women’s team having lots of fun during a kick about. After that, we skip over to Urmston local leisure centre to join a Women's walking football team, specifically for women affected by the menopause. Check out how Nike funding has ignited communities and changed women’s lives in our latest In The Box. Listen now! </p>
