The Jim Melhuish Foundation A page for updates on the activity of The Jim Melhuish Foundation Jim Melhuish - the Chairman of Harold Hill FC for 20 years - sadly passed away on 8 May 2020.

Jim was involved in youth football for more than 40 years and was recently (February 2020) awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Essex FA. His great passion was to encourage and develop children's potential using sport, in particular football. Jim's philosophy was to not only develop high levels of skill in a sport, but to use those skills to assist with their every day life, allowing them to flourish. As well as this philosophy Jim passed his knowledge, ethos and passion onto his three children who are all successful sports coaches/teachers. The Trustees of the Jim Melhuish Foundation, his family, are raising funds to help carry on with his voluntary work within the community, supporting children and young people and their participation in a variety of sports. The use of the funds raised will range widely, from providing equipment, clothing and financial support, which will assist young people to develop in their sporting activities. In the future Jim's family hope to fundraise at an annual event to be able to continue with this foundation and its efforts. Therefore, there is no time limit to this endeavour as the family wish Jim to be remembered for a long time, with the foundation being an appropriate legacy for him.

We know it’s been a while since posting on here and a few weeks since the lovely new addition has been delivered to MyPlaceRM3 but here is an update…

Our aim for this year was to reach out to places in the community that Jim/Dad was part of himself when he was younger. So we reached out to MyPlaceRM3 as a youth club to see if they wanted some support from us (as Jim/Dad did attend youth clubs we thought that this was a great place to start).

Therefore we have provided them with a brand new Table Tennis Table, for all to use. This will be a great new addition for the young people and local community that use the centre.

The table is situated in their games room and can be used as part of hire of the space. The room also boasts a full size snooker table, pool table and various other gaming activities. To find out more, please contact them directly or visit their pages.

Are you an individual or part of a group/organisation that is looking for funding to support you or your group ?
We have funds available that might be able to help. Ideally funding is to provide a benefit to an individual or group by way of improving their way of life or help with their endeavours in the community but consideration will be given to any application - training and coaching qualifications to equipment and venue improvements. Get in contact or share our Foundation with some one who you think could benefit from this.
