Grangetown Netball Club’s contribution to sport and the community in Redcar and Cleveland

That this House celebrates the outstanding achievements of Grangetown Netball Club, which, since its founding 40 years ago in one of the most deprived areas of Redcar and Cleveland, has grown from strength to strength, reaching the highest level of national netball competition in the Premier League; commends the dedication of volunteer coaches Ria Small, Faye Summerhill, and Jade Stainthorpe, who, while balancing full-time jobs and family responsibilities, have been instrumental in developing players and nurturing talent; recognises the significant impact the club has had on its members, with numerous players from disadvantaged backgrounds progressing to successful careers as doctors, teachers, and business owners; acknowledges the leadership and passion of the club's founder and first team coach, Gel Williams, who has dedicated four decades to promoting sport and community engagement in Grangetown; further pays tribute to the late Margaret Seed for her profound influence on the club’s success; and praises the club for its role in fostering essential life skills and promoting community cohesion which will benefit the young people of Redcar and Cleveland far beyond sport.
