Cherries Use Power of Football to Help Prisoners

AFC Bournemouth 's Community Sports Trust is using the power of football to help inmates at Guys Marsh Prison in Shaftesbury gain
new qualifications.

The Trust and the staff at Guys Marsh have designed a six week programme to give inmates at the category C facility the necessary skills to be able to do positive work in their local communities upon release.

The inmates will receive coaching from the club's qualified staff and will earn an FA Leaders award as part of the initiative, and could be nominated to study for their FA level one coaching badge.
