Youth Team: Are you 18+ and interested in becoming a volunteer to help run the summer football tournament? If so please contact

The Hangleton & Knoll Project Page

Welcome to our first page. This will now be a regular feature from

HKP letting you know what is coming up, volunteering opportunities and a little of what we have been up to at the Project. We may be facing difficult economic times and we may be smaller than we used to be but we are still here and working hard for a better community!

Smart Court Launch The opening by the Mayor of the Smart Court in Knoll Park named after Cllr David Smart who was so supportive of this project. Young people fundraised for the new court for more than two years and celebrated the opening with a tournament and an evening of fun organised by the Youth Team.
