SUMMARY:Hebburn Town FC Summer Social
DESCRIPTION:Hot on the heals of Hebburn Town FC being crowned champions of the Northern Premier League East Division\, the Football Club is opening its doors to local businesses and organisations in a special event to mark national volunteer week. \n\n\n\nHebburn Football Club plans to become a community hub\, attracting local groups and businesses to its Hebburn Sports Ground\, in Victoria Road\, as a meeting spot and functions venue. It wants to highlight the incredibly important role volunteers play in the running of the club and the work they deliver across the wider community. \n\n\n\nThe event will showcase how Chief Executive Stephen Rutherford and Directors at the Club have turned Hebburn into a genuine success story\, taking the club to the top spot in Division 1 since taking over in 2017\, and the role volunteers and partnering organisations have played in this. \n\n\n\nThe club\, which is a proud supporter of the South Tyneside Pledge has over 1\,000 players from the first XI to junior teams\, including around 100 women and girls. Football is a great way of uniting people\, but even for those who don’t follow the sport\, there are many other ways to get involved. \n\n\n\nThe event is open to all local businesses and South Tyneside Pledge organisations. Guests will hear more about future plans for the club and some of the work that goes on behind the scenes. Guest business speakers from Hitachi and HTG will highlight how they are reaping the benefits from partnering with the club\, and there will be a chance for a look around and to network. There will also be the opportunity to find out more about the South Tyneside Pledge and Plinth\, the online platform that allows you to see volunteering opportunities and events across the borough. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an informal evening\, some home cooked pizza and the bar will be open. \n\n\n\nPlaces are limited and will be offered on a first come\, first served basis. \n\n\n\nBooking via EventBrite please: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hebburn-fc-summer-social-tickets-909882351607?aff=oddtdtcreator
