Loved having @MU_Foundation with us yesterday on the 103rd anniversary of the women's football ban.
School groups found out more about women's football with special talks and object handling sessions, before collaborating on a banner celebrating the women's game. ❤

This week we took 75 children on an inspirational tour of @ManCity and the @FootballMuseum . We were lucky enough to visit on a game day too! What an experience for everyone. Thank you to our hosts!🥅⚽️
HOW can you make your mark?
That's the question we've been asking of local groups in Cheetham recently as part of our MARKERS community outreach.
