Giving back to our community is something that really matters to us at Pass & Move.
Mortimer is where our family is based, where our children grow, learn and play football — and we’re incredibly grateful for the schools, people and local support that have helped them along the way.
Through Pass & Move, we want to give something back and support our local community wherever we can — whether that’s through local events, fundraisers, school fetes, charity days or simply helping create more opportunities for local children.
It’s our way of supporting the community that continues to support Pass & Move and the families involved with us.
Pass & Move 1 Year Anniversary Community Day
This October marks one year of Pass & Move Football Coaching, and we want to celebrate by giving something back to the community that has supported us throughout our first year. 
On Saturday 24th October, we’ll be bringing local children, families and businesses together for a special Community Day, raising money for The Mortimer Federation PTFA and Mortimer FC.
FREE COMMUNITY FOOTBALL MATCH!
We’re celebrating the start of half-term with a FREE football match for our local kids, paid for by Pass and Move!

There’s no charge to take part, but any donations towards our community fundraiser would be greatly appreciated.

It’s a chance for us to celebrate the children, families and local community who have helped make our first year so special.
Big Community Raffle
Our raffle will also take place at The Horse & Groom, with some fantastic prizes donated and sponsored by local businesses.

A huge thank you to Mortimer Cafe for sponsoring this incredible first prize.
We also have a growing list of prizes donated by businesses from across the local community, with even more to be announced before the event.
Something for the Kids
The Horse & Groom will also be offering 10% off all kids’ meals between 12pm and 3pm on Saturday 24th October, giving families another reason to come along and enjoy the afternoon together.
Giving Back Throughout October
Throughout October, we’ll also be collecting children’s books and unwanted sports equipment to help support local schools, children and community projects.
If you have books or sports equipment that could be given a new home, we’d love to hear from you.
Where Will the Money Go?
Money raised will be split:
50% – The Mortimer Federation PTFA
50% – Mortimer FC
For us, this is about much more than football. It’s about bringing the community together, celebrating local children, supporting local organisations and giving something back to the people who have supported Pass & Move throughout our first year.

Pass & Move Giving Back to Our Community
Mortimer is where our family is based, where our children grow, learn and play football — and we’re incredibly grateful for the schools, people and local support that have helped them along the way.
Through Pass & Move, we want to give something back and support our local community wherever we can — whether that’s through local events, fundraisers, school fetes, charity days or simply helping create more opportunities for local children.

Raising Money for our Local School PTFA this World Cup!
We did it! 
We completed our 10,000 Kick-Up Challenge, finishing in style by completing the final 1,000 kick-ups LIVE on Facebook… all in one take without the ball touching the ground!
To make things even more interesting along the way, we took on some extra challenges too:
Over 300 kick-ups with a basketball
200 kick-ups while holding a 12kg weight Mini footballs, normal footballs and plenty of different variations to keep things fun!
The best part wasn’t just completing the challenge—it was getting so many local children involved.
Our own boys were determined to beat their personal bests:
Teddy (9) smashed his record with 59 kick-ups. William (7) reached 42 kick-ups, having struggled to get past 10 before the challenge began.
Watching them practise every day, improve, and grow in confidence was one of the biggest highlights of the whole challenge.
I also managed to beat my own personal best, reaching 1,510 consecutive kick-ups, something I’d never come close to before!
Together we raised £255 for our local Mortimer PTFA. While the fundraising was fantastic, just as importantly we helped raise awareness of the amazing work the PTFA does to support our local schools and children.
A huge thank you to everyone who donated, watched, encouraged and joined in. We couldn’t have done it without your support.
Now for the big question…
What’s the next challenge? 
From Coach James!
🎉⚽ Let’s Celebrate the End of Term with a Match! ⚽🎉
To celebrate the end of the May half term, Pass and Move Football Coaching was delighted to organise a special football match at The Willink for all the children to enjoy.
The kids took part in a full one-hour match, giving it their all with brilliant effort, fantastic teamwork and some truly great goals! To top it all off, a few of the adults even joined in towards the end, making for plenty of laughs and memorable moments.
Most importantly, the children had an amazing time. Seeing their smiles, enthusiasm and love for the game is what Pass and Move is all about.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it such a fun way to celebrate the end of the half term. We can’t wait for the next one! 💙⚽
Not many pictures here as Coach james was reffing and then playing 🙂
🎉 Well Done, George! 🎉
A huge congratulations to George, the lucky winner of a pair of FREE football boots, kindly donated by Pass and Move Football Coaching! ⚽👟
We hope they help you score plenty of goals, make some great passes and enjoy every minute on the pitch. Keep working hard, having fun and showing a fantastic attitude!
Thanks to everyone who took part, and keep an eye on our page for more exciting giveaways, competitions and community events coming soon.
Enjoy your new boots, George! 🙌⚽
The Pass & Move Community Fund
At Pass & Move, we believe football should do more than develop skills — it should give back.
That’s why we’re building the Pass & Move Community Fund, a local initiative designed to support children and grassroots football right here in Mortimer, the village we are proud to call home.
Through the Community Fund, we aim to:
Help local children with boots, kits, and essential equipment
Donate equipment to local schools and grassroots teams
- Support local fundraisers
Throughout the year, we’ll be running football sessions where a percentage of our profits are reinvested directly into the Community Fund. For our February sessions, 5% of all profits will go straight into the Pass & Move Community Fund, helping us make an immediate local impact.
Giving back to Mortimer isn’t an add-on for us — it’s a core part of who we are. Supporting our local village and the people within it is a key incentive for Pass & Move going forward. Whether that’s helping a child get their first pair of boots, supporting a school or team, or backing inspiring local efforts like Debbie’s marathon for charity, this is just the beginning.
We’ll be sharing updates throughout the year to show how the Pass & Move Community Fund is making a real difference across the Mortimer community.
Watch this space — we’re only getting started. 💛⚽
Let`s support Debbie on her Marathon fundraiser journey!
Giving Back This January
A huge well done to Debbie for organising a successful fundraiser in support of Coach Core. The Pass and Move team were proud to be involved, sponsoring a race, giving away freebies and even winning £10 on a horse during race night. All proceeds from the event went directly to Coach Core.
Pass and Move also donated £1 for every one to one session delivered throughout January, helping to further support this fantastic cause. You can read more about Debbie’s fundraising journey and the work of Coach Core by clicking on the image.
Well done Debbie, a local Mortimer mum, who is preparing to run a full marathon for this incredible cause. We will be there to support her every step of the way.
Supporting our Community through Football
Pass and Move were proud to fund a recent match for the children at Willink through our Community Fund. It was a fantastic occasion filled with energy, smiles and plenty of great football — even a few of the adults couldn’t resist getting involved!
Creating opportunities like this for young players in our community is something we’re passionate about, and we’re already looking forward to organising more events in the future.
