⚽ Celebrating Volunteers’ Week 2026 ⚽

This Volunteers’ Week, we want to shine a spotlight on the incredible people who help make Shape The Play what it is.

A special thank you goes to our dedicated community volunteers and Directors of Football, who work tirelessly to ensure local people have a voice in shaping activities that matter to them. Your passion, leadership and commitment help create welcoming, inclusive opportunities where everyone feels they belong.

We are also grateful to our fantastic grassroots partners and community organisations who support us every step of the way.

By working together, we continue to break down barriers, build confidence, improve wellbeing and bring people together through the power of football and physical activity.

Shape The Play is built on community spirit. Every conversation, every session, every act of encouragement and every hour volunteered helps create stronger, healthier and more connected communities across Stockton and Thornaby.

To everyone who gives their time, shares their experience, supports others and champions their community – thank you. Your contribution is making a real and lasting difference.

Happy Volunteers’ Week 2026! 🌟

🌦️ Pure Football is ON tonight! ⚽

5:30pm until 7pm

The weather forecast has improved throughout the day, so we're going to go ahead with tonight's session as planned.

However, we do need everyone to be sensible and understand that safety comes first. If we hear any thunder or see any lightning at all, we will have to stop the session immediately and cancel for the evening.

As always, we expect high standards of behaviour and common sense from everyone attending.

Hopefully the weather behaves itself and we can enjoy another great session together. See you all later! 💙⚽

📣 PURE FOOTBALL – WEATHER UPDATE 📣 - WILL NOW GIVE IT UNTIL 3PM THEN MAKE A DECISION!

Unfortunately, the forecast for this evening isn’t looking promising, with further thunderstorms and lightning expected.

We’ll make a final decision at 3:00pm in the hope that conditions improve, but at this stage we cannot risk playing in unsafe weather.

The safety and wellbeing of all participants, volunteers and staff will always come first.

Please keep an eye on our social media channels for the latest updates.

Thank you for your understanding. ⚽

As part of our work at Shape The Play, James is proud to be a Stockton-on-Tees Community Wellbeing Champion.

Each month, Stockton on Tees Community Wellbeing Champions are asked to gather local views on a wellbeing topic, and this month's question focuses on Men's Mental Health:

💬 What's one small step you can take this month to improve your mental health?

Whether it's getting out for a walk, talking to a friend, taking some time for yourself, being more active, or trying something new, we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Please share your comments below and James will feed your responses back to the wider Community Wellbeing Champion network.

It’s fair to say that so far it’s a bank holiday weekend of highs and lows, particularly for those who support the Boro!

However, to get things back on a positive note (maybe not for a certain someone!) we thought we would share something special with you…

Today our very own James celebrates his 50th birthday! 🥳🎉

The success of Shape The Play over the past 4-5 years is largely down to two important factors.

Firstly, all of you! Who continue to give us your valuable time and support in making our sessions thrive!

Secondly, because of James and his unwavering commitment and belief in making Shape the Play the best it can be, for the absolute benefit of those we continue to support. Both the area and the project is a better place with you in it! 😁

Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do, James. 💚

Enjoy your celebrations and break away. Guess you have earned it….

Slightly less important note. NO SESSIONS TOMORROW! See you as normal from Wednesday!

Good luck to Middlesbrough FC at Wembley Stadium today.

We wonder how many of our Shape The Play regulars have managed to make the trip???
