The Barker-Mill Foundation has donated £800 to the New Forest Hockey Club.
The funding is enabling the club to introduce more junior players from local primary schools to hockey in the New Forest area and develop their skills. It is hoped as a result, that more local primary schools will enter the New Forest Schools competitions due to an increase in players’ ability, enthusiasm and confidence.
Some of the donation is also being used to provide as many pupils as possible with the opportunity to participate in free taster sessions this season.
