The Little Stars bursary programme is open to all clubs with kids under the age of 13 that are located near each of Little Wing\u2019s six branches: Enniskillen, Holywood, Bangor and Ann Street, Lisburn Road and Ballyhackamore in Belfast*. Each of the six winning clubs will receive a \u00a3500 bursary each to spend as they wish.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the club bursaries, Luke Wolsey, Managing Director of Little Wing Pizzeria said:<\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAt Little Wing we\u2019re always looking for opportunities to give back to the community and now that we have six restaurants in six different communities across Northern Ireland, the Little Wing Little Stars bursaries are a great way to get involved with the children and families in the area.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe programme is back for a third year to give local clubs a chance to apply for funding: we get a lot of requests for sponsorship and assistance throughout the year and the Little Stars bursary programme can make a real difference to these clubs.<\/em><\/p>\n


\n\u201cI hope all of our local clubs will apply for the chance to win the bursary, which can be used towards whatever they need, whether it\u2019s equipment, new kits or the running costs of the club.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s winners were Bangor Chiefs Inline Hockey Club; Enniskillen Rugby Football Club; Minis St John Bosco Amateur Boxing Club in West Belfast; Sydenham United Football Club and VC Glendale Cycling Club in South Belfast, all of whom benefitted from a \u00a3500 bursary for their club, with Holywood Tae Kwon Do club and Pophouse Theatre Company in Finaghy splitting the bursary to receive \u00a3250 each.<\/p>\n

Coach Michael Rowley from Sydenham United Football club said<\/strong> \u201cThe Little Wing Little Stars bursary made a big difference to our club: we purchased training equipment, junior nets, footballs and bibs plus first aid kits for our junior teams.\u00a0The children felt the immediate benefit of the \u00a3500 cash and their parents were thrilled to see the equipment in the club.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe bursary can make all the difference to your club \u2013 we would encourage any children\u2019s club to apply. It really helped us!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

To apply for the Little Wing Little Stars bursary scheme, children\u2019s\u2019 clubs simply need to submit a 300-word entry, explaining why they need the bursary and what it will be used for. Alternatively clubs can create a two minute video. Entries should be emailed to \u00a0bursaries@littlewingpizzeria.co.uk<\/a> by Monday 31st<\/sup> October 2016.<\/p>\n

Little Wing is part of the Beannchor Group, Ireland\u2019s largest hospitality group, which boasts a portfolio of over 50 pubs, hotels and restaurants across Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n
