Bruce was at Walsall FC this weekend to present Walsall Football Club’s Community Programme with a cheque for £283,000 from the Football Foundation. The money will be used by the Community Programme for a three-year health and fitness programme. The “Walsall Winners” programme is supported by Walsall Football Club, local schools and the Primary Care Trust.

The presentation took place during the half-time interval of Walsall’s League One fixture against Tranmere Rovers on Saturday, 5th April. Supporters witnessed the substantial cheque presentation, which was presented to Mick Kearns, Manager of the Walsall Football Club Community Programme.

The Football Foundation is dedicated to revitalising the grass roots of the game. Funded by the Premier League, The Football Association and Government, the Football Foundation is the nation’s largest sports charity with a £45 million budget going straight into the heart of football.
