South Shields FC are in full support of a new, government backed initiative called Jarrow Forward.
A new neighbourhood board, called Jarrow Forward, has been set up to engage with the whole community before making a plan that will make a real difference in the next decade.
Jarrow has been awarded almost £20m of government funding to be spent over the next ten years.
The investment must be used for new opportunities and can’t be used for things that are already funded, so Jarrow Forward wants to hear your new, big ideas that will have real impact on the lives of residents and transform the future for our young people.
South Shields FC Chairman, Geoff Thompson has worked closely with the board as Vice Chairman to decide new ways on how to bring Jarrow Forward to light and support it in order for it to receive full attention.
He has this to say:
"Dear Mariners,
"I am part of the new neighbourhood board called Jarrow Forward.
We know a lot of our fans either live, work or spend time in Jarrow or have family that do.
South Shields FC resides in NE32 which falls in Jarrow and consequently the Club is keen to support the work of Jarrow Forward.
Football lies at the heart of our borough, and it touches the lives of so many of us across South Tyneside.
Can I just express my gratitude in anticipation that you can support this initiative by taking part in the survey details of which are enclosed."
Geoff Thompson
South Shields FC Chairman
