Schools World Cup Festival 2026

The Daggers Trust hosted a fun tournament last week for many children in the schools of Barking & Dagenham. We had over 20 schools take part in the festival over 4 days, totalling over 500 children. Each school got a trophy, and each individual got a medal and certificate. A massive thank you to Paragon for sponsoring this event; this event wouldn't have been possible without them.

Next Season's Matchday Packages

Walking & Disability Football

The Daggers Trust recently held talks with Essex FA and Leisure United and has introduced Walking Football sessions this month at Parsloes Park.

The sessions are open to men and women aged 40+ for a nominal sum eg £2-3 per session, with the first month free of charge.

Walking Football provides a great opportunity for people to get out, make new friends, have fun, undertake exercise, lose weight, improve physical and mental wellbeing, and much, much more.

At some point in the near future, we plan to introduce Disability Football at the same venue.

EASST MATCH FUNDING

TARGET REACHED

Once again, the Essex and Southend Sports Trust (EASST) has generously stepped in to support the Daggers Trust. We need £25,000 each year to run our Kickstart4Kids football programme which replaced the PL Kicks sessions when the PLCF funding was cut after the Club's relegation from the EFL. Last year, with the support of fans, families, the players, local companies and the Club, we were able to raise £7,500 in match funding in one month to add to the £17,500 donation provided by EASST.

EASST has offered the Daggers Trust the same deal this year and we are now seeking to raise £7,500 in match funding. TARGET REACHED BUT YOU CAN STILL DONATE!

Donations can be made on the Just Giving page by clicking HERE.

In addition to the above funding, EASST has given the Trust a further £5,000 to make up the shortfall brought about by the Club's relegation to the National League South.

We cannot find words sufficiently good enough to thank EASST for their continued support and generosity.

The Essex and Southend Sports Trust (EASST) provides charitable grants in support of sport and in particular football and cricket. The geographical area in which it operates is strictly limited to the County of Essex (including the unitary authorities of Southend-on-sea and Thurrock and the London boroughs of Havering, Redbridge, Barking and Dagenham, Newham and Waltham Forest) .
