Football for the kids nobody else picked.

Bootle Bucks was set up in 2018 for local children who had little or no access to organised football. Sixteen turned up the first Saturday. Two hundred train with us now.

Every session is pitched to the player's ability, every coach is FA qualified, first-aid trained and DBS checked, and nobody sits on the bench because of what they can't do.

We're a Community Interest Company run by volunteers. Every pound a sponsor gives goes on pitches, kit, transport and tournaments, not wages.

Prefer to help in kind, with transport, kit, printing or a day out for the kids? Say so on the form. EMR started that way.

"They became friends of the club."

When EMR came on board in 2018, money wasn't the first thing they offered. They invited the whole club to their site at Alexandra Dock, put the kids in the cabs of the machines, and sent them home in tracksuits and bobble hats. Six years on they're still here.
