Paul Hunter Foundation Annual Review

 

The past year has been an industrious and rewarding one for the Paul Hunter Foundation as it continues to strive towards its goal of giving disadvantaged, able bodied and disabled youngsters an opportunity to play snooker.

 

Across many regions of the UK, young people have been given the opportunity to engage in healthy activity and improve social behaviour by playing snooker and learning about the sport. This has been the Foundation's key goal since it was established in Paul Hunter's name in 2006.

 

BUT there are still many regions untapped, and many thousands of young people who could be helped by the Foundation's work. If you know a snooker club, youth club or community which could benefit from coming together through snooker, GET IN TOUCH! The Foundation also has a limited number of full size snooker tables which need good homes.
