HAYLEY CLOUT COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR

Good afternoon everyone.

Welcome back to the Continental Pilot Field after a disappointing result at here on Tuesday night but positive thoughts and thinking going into today's First Round FA Trophy game with Burgess Hill Town.

I would like to give a quick mention and congratulate Craig, Jack and Ben on their milestone Club appearances and what a great achievement it is too.

I welcome and thank our Match & Matchball Sponsor for today's game, Becky The Youth Fairy Hastings

In Becky's own words here is a short story on The Youth Fairy

Hi, I’m Becky and I’m The Youth Fairy Hastings. I’m a solution focused therapist working with children and young people in Hastings, St. Leonards and local area. Having spent over 12 years as a secondary school teacher I became increasingly aware of just how much children’s mental health could be affected by a number of different life events and pressures. With the busy constraints of secondary school life, I felt like I wasn’t able to give these young people enough of the dedicated support and time that they needed and deserved to support their well-being and mental health. Which is what lead to me to re-train and become The Youth Fairy Hastings!

My work with young people gives them the tools they need to feel more in control. It also helps them to recognise their unique strengths, capabilities and to build the confidence they need to make positive changes and become the best version of themselves. As well as helping young people make these changes, I’m passionate about educating them on their mental health, which is such an important and essential part of the change process. By empowering them with this knowledge, we can help young people to develop more positive, healthy habits for life.

For more information about what I do as well as some free, helpful advice in The Parent Pad blogs then please check out the website www.theyouthfairy.com

We hope Becky and her guests enjoy their day with us and thank you for all your support both now and going into the future.

A big welcome and thank you to all our Mascots for today’s game who are players from our U10s Academy team. We hope you all have a great day with us and enjoy the matchday experience.

Enjoy the game and hopefully into the next round! ...
