THE FILLIES GFC 

The core activity of The Fillies GFC is football for girls. We provide the opportunities for young females to access local facilities to participate in football training sessions and compete in competitive league and cup football throughout Lancashire.The Club is family orientated and provides healthy living information, projects and exercise for all female family members.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Established: 14 years
