Soham United FC
Soham United Football Club is a welcoming, community-driven club based at Qua Fen Common in Cambridgeshire. Established in 1945, the club provides football opportunities for both youth and adults, including a men's team competing in the Cambridgeshire County League.
At its heart, Soham United FC is about bringing people together through a love of the game. The club offers inclusive, enjoyable football for players of all abilities, creating a positive environment for the local community in Soham and the surrounding villages.
Like many grassroots organisations, the club faced significant challenges following COVID-19. However, over the past two years, Soham United FC has begun its journey to recovery and is hopeful of flourishing once again. With a newly established formal link to Soham Town Rangers, the club is excited about the future and aims to remain a key part of Soham's thriving football community.
Weatheralls HSA
The Weatheralls Home and School Association (HSA) is a dedicated team of parents and volunteers working closely with school staff to raise funds that enhance and enrich the education of all pupils at the Weatheralls Primary School in Soham.
Our two form entry school serves 345 children aged 3 to 11, from Soham and the surrounding villages. The school boasts a generous outdoor space including three playgrounds (Early Years, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two), a large field, meadow, allotment and two dedicated forest school zones.
The current trim trails and climbing structures were installed over a decade ago. They are now worn, outdated, and no longer safe for our children to enjoy. Playground markings have also faded, limiting opportunities for imaginative and active play.
In response, we've launched the Playground Project
a four-year, multi-phase renovation plan to transform all three playgrounds into vibrant, inclusive, and inspiring spaces. Our vision includes:
- Large climbing structures
- Performance stages
- Colourful playground markings
- Team-building and imaginative play zones
- Inclusive, accessible facilities for all abiities
These improvements will aupport physical development, creativity, wellbeing, and joyful outdoor learning for every child.
