💙🏃‍♂️ 31 DAYS. 31 RUNS. 5K A DAY. 🏃‍♂️💙

Throughout October, best mates, business partners and trustees of Yorkshire Health & Sport, Paul Green & Simon Fletcher, are taking on 5K EVERY DAY as part of Doncaster Rovers Football Club Prostate United 2026 campaign, raising money for Prostate Cancer UK.

Paul and Simon set up Yorkshire Health & Sport and A1 Football Factory with one main aim — to support our local community and use sport to make a difference.

This month, we’re asking our brilliant A1 community to get behind them and help them make a difference in another way. 💙

Day 1 completed this morning ✅ — 5K down, 30 runs to go!

We’ve set a target of £1,000 and every donation, no matter how big or small, will help.

The money raised will help Prostate Cancer UK fund lifesaving research, improve testing and treatment, and provide support and information for men and their families affected by prostate cancer.

👇 DONATE HERE:
https://prostateunited.prostatecanceruk.org/fundraising/paul-green2026

If you can’t donate, a share would be massively appreciated, and we’ll keep you updated on how the lads are getting on throughout October!

Good luck Greeny & Si — those legs might look a little different by run 31! 😂🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

💙 Together we can make a difference.

📣 PONTEFRACT CHILDMINDERS – DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS? 💚

We’re trying to spread the word again about our Childminder Discount Card at the Fun House SOFT PLAY, A1 Football Factory, Pontefract.

We know how important it is for childminders to have somewhere local, affordable and easy to bring the children during the week – especially when the Yorkshire weather isn't playing ball! ☔️😂

Our Childminder Discount Card gives you:
💚 20% OFF Fun House entry
☕ 20% OFF our Café Bar

So you can bring the little ones for a play, grab a coffee or some food and hopefully make the cost of a day out that little bit easier.

The offer is available Monday–Friday during term time and is specifically aimed at supporting local childminders.

Already got one of our cards? Give this post a share or tag another local childminder who might not know about it 👇

Not got one yet? Pop in and speak to us at reception and we'll get you sorted.

⚽ NEW TEAMS WANTED – IMMEDIATE START! ⚽

Our Wednesday Night Indoor 5-a-Side League is looking for new teams to join us straight away.

🔥 Last night’s results:
Net6 an Chill 20–10 All Stars

A DREAM THAT HAS COME TO LIFE!

There was a dream, and there have been many conversations and a lot of hard work along the way…
The dream was simple: for A1 Football Factory to be a place where every child can walk through the door, feel safe, feel included and simply be themselves.
Today, that dream is very much a reality.

We now have 14 visually impaired children training with us every Sunday, and we’ve just reached an incredible 30 children attending our Junior Pan-Disability sessions.

That means over 40 children are walking through our doors every single week — and seeing the smiles on their faces is something that’s difficult to put into words.

A huge amount of hard work, care and unbelievable dedication has gone into making these sessions what they are today.

Yes, football is a massive part of what we do. ⚽
But these sessions have become about so much more than football.
They’re about belonging.
They’re about friendships.
They’re about confidence.
They’re about giving every child somewhere they can feel comfortable, included and proud to be themselves.

And we’re seeing these kids thrive because they know they’re part of something together as a team ❤️

We love celebrating everything we do at A1 Football Factory, but this story — and the work that goes into these sessions every single week — is a particularly special one.

To every child who walks through our doors, every parent and family who puts their trust in us, and everyone who works tirelessly behind the scenes — thank you.

This incredible story is just the start 👊👊
