It's a passionate and ambition driven team that just gets better with every passing year and we are extremely pleased that they were able to take out time to support our initiative," said a representative at Rainer Hughes.

West Ham United Women's team captain, Gilly Flaherty added, "I started playing football at the age of 9 at a local park with my dad and played for a grassroots team nearby. The grassroots games is massive and if you don't have the grassroot players then you don't have football. It is also because of organisations like Rainer Hughes that fund and sponsor teams, which is critical as their support goes a long way for teams to progress and do better."

When asked why they are so involved, RH spokesperson said, "We just want to play our part and make sure local talent is supported and looked after. It's not a lot, but as the initiative suggests – It's the Little Steps that count."
