Preston North End Football Club
Using the power of football our intention is to improve the local environment by supporting schools in educating children in how they can help make their local environment a better place through recycling and have fun at the same time through participation in football.
To do this, PNE has partnered with WWT Martin Mere to pilot an environmental partnership for one year with the intention of ultimately delivering a three year project to create environmental awareness in schools and local communities.
