The Cymru Football Foundation – in collaboration with the Johan Cruyff Foundation and Wrexham County Borough Council – has seen our latest project unveiled at Ysgol St Christopher’s in Wrexham. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through funding from Sport Wales, the CFF were able to support the largest special school in Wales to develop a brand new space to support pupils from St Christopher’s to enjoy taking part in physical activity in a safe, comfortable environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
