UITC TO Cease Operations


This from UITC:


With regret the Board of Trustees announce that plans are in place to cease operations due to a relationship breakdown with Hereford Football Club.

It is intended that the Academy will no longer be run by UITC after 31st December 2017. Hereford FC have stated they want to take on the Academy in the New Year and UITC commits to parents to use its best endeavours to make any transition as seamless as possible.

All other services currently offered by UITC will cease at the end of 2017 / 18 season.

It will be for Hereford Football Club to decide which elements they will continue that UITC currently provide.

The Trustees would like to express their sincere thanks to everyone who has supported us in the past 3 years.

Self-funded, reliant on goodwill, donations and many hours of volunteer time, we are proud of our record in maintaining community provision on behalf of Hereford FC and the wider Herefordshire community:
· Untangling the historic mess left to us in 2014 and ensuring a stable basis for the organisation to prosper over 3 football seasons
· Doubling the number of registered academy players since 2014
· Creation of new U18s girls team
· Record numbers of Soccer Schools and extension of our primary schools’ provision
· Investment/upgrading in the Central Park facility
· Early years daytime sessions
· Extending our coaching provision to even more primary schools throughout the County
· In partnership with local charities, sport provision for young people with learning disabilities and young re-offenders as part of their rehabilitation programme
· Numerous first team appearances of UITC players
We hope that Hereford Football Club will step up and maintain community activity for the benefit of all people in Hereford City and the wider county, and wish it the best in this endeavour.
