Perton is a great place to live for many reasons one of which is that we are blessed with local members of the community that work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that Perton has many of the facilities and resources that it needs and deserves. One such community minded person is Paul Chapman and we are very pleased to award ‘Citizen of the Year’ to Paul in recognition of his continued focus in ensuring that Perton youngsters receive high quality football coaching and team membership through Perton FC. Paul established Perton FC in 1999 which then, through his efforts became an FA charter standard club and is affiliated to the Staffordshire FA. The club is a purely voluntary organisation run solely to provide football teams for the children of our community and those running the club take no money out of the clubs funds. All the club coaches and managers are trained to FA Standards; CRB checked, have attended child protection courses and are trained in first aid. Perton FC has teams going from under 10's through to Adults football and has been recognized by the FA for high standards by presentation of a fair play award. As the club has grown it has become more than just a football club, integrating more with the local community to provide a social outlet for players and their families and friends. All of this has come about due to Paul’s considerable efforts and community spirit. Congratulations and thanks to Paul.
