Pevensey and Westham Girls’ Under 10s have been given £300 from Sussex Police’s police property act fund.

Steve Hadfield, team coach, said, “Pevensey and Westham is a relatively new football team. We work hard to ensure the girls are central to everything.

“We are a family club and try really hard to keep the costs as low as possible.

“This money will help enormously to ensure the team can turn up on match day with a decent kit and then let their football do the talking.”

The Police Property Act Fund (PPAF) is a pot of money made up from the sale of found property and from property confiscated by order of the court and then sold.

PCSO Jake Hopgood, of the Eastbourne Neighbourhood Policing Team, said, “I was delighted to have been able to help, and to present the cheque to the team on a match day.

“ They looked great in their new kit and it was lovely to see them enjoying their sport and having fun.”
