How could I not pay homage to our underdogs! Luton Town Football Club are in the Premier League, a huge victory not only for the club but for the county as a whole.
And what better segue to our latest successful event.
Last week Wednesday (31 May) saw us welcome 15 football teams made up of 160+ young people from across the county to Lea Manor Recreation Centre, Luton, to take part in the national initiative KickOff@3.
A truly fantastic day, fostering new and better relationships between the public and the police, while showcasing the provisions available to our community.
I won't share too much as you'll soon read all about it and enjoy some great clips and pictures from the day below and across our social media.
Instead I will round up with a number of important thank you's to share. I would like to say a huge thank you to:
- VERU's Community and Engagement Lead Tasha Case and Daniel Douglas from Luton Town Community Trust. With zeal they took on the mammoth task of pulling everything together for the day and ensuring all bases we're covered - huge well done to them on a successful day. A thank you also goes out to the wider LTCT team for their support on the day.
- KickOff@3 Co-founder Michael Wallace for allowing us to host the tournament and for his continued support for the work of the VERU
- Luton Town Football Club Chairman David Wilkinson for attending and showing his support for grassroots football and community projects
- Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Ian Dalgarno for being available to speak and present awards to the young people
- ACC Sharn Basra & Bedfordshire Police for their support and attendance on the day
