When I first started Onside Soccer 15 years ago it never occured to me that it would develop in the way that it did.  What started off as a way of helping a small group of kids in India get some football equipment seemed to resonate with people and Onside has grown to a point where we have over 250 children registered in our project in Carshalton, as well as projects in Belfast, the Gambia and with our work in India still happening 15 years later.  It is a real testament to the players, the parents, the volunteers, the trustees and everyone involved with Onside that we are still going strong and seeing more children benefit from our programmes year after year.  Sometimes it's good to take time to reflect and see what has gone well, what perhaps hasn't developed as predicted and look ahead to the future.  We hope you enjoy reading about the impact Onside has had and let's see what we can make hapen in the next 15 years!
