Testimonials
“We are now on our 3rd cohort of students attending The Russell Martin Foundation, Extra Time Project. All students that have taken part in the intervention have come back very positive about their experience and parents have also noticed a change in their child, whether it be confidence, self-esteem or general attitude. The smaller classes and individually targeted work is perfect for students that need a little help in continuing on their learning journey. School and parents receive a weekly report on each child, which gives which us an insight to how they are getting on and it is great to see the student’s comments. The reintegration process is excellent as it is done slowly over a 4 week period. This helps students reintegrate back into the Felpham Community College way of life, ready to return full-time. The strategies and techniques that have worked with the students at RMF have been implemented once back at school. Weekly ‘check in’ meetings by a member of staff from RMF work really well as the students can talk about what’s going well and what can be improved.” – Mark Anstiss, Head of Felpham Community College.

“A child I was working with had the opportunity to attend the Extra Time Project and the positive changes this had on the child were incredible. His confidence and self-esteem were much improved and it was event that he had learnt new skills that ensured he could transition back into mainstream school successfully. Staff were experienced and knew how to provide the relevant care and education to suit the child’s needs”

Main Sponsors
Skerritts – Chartered Financial Planners
Skerritts has been RMF’s main sponsor since 2018 and
this partnership has been a great support helping the charity develop.
The funding has gone towards providing free membership
of the Russell Martin Academy for 45 families
which has given their children opportunities in football that
they would not otherwise have received.
The sponsorship also helped us provide food for 270 families
during the Covid pandemic.
Sponsors
Ristorante Donatello
Donatello has been the main sponsor for the RMF’s Brighton based Extra Time Project. This project is a 12 week course for local secondary school students who, for a variety of reasons, find mainstream schooling challenging. The funding has allowed RMF to provide extra support to the students as well as pay for the celebratory events at the end of each course.
Donatello is also the main sponsor for RMF’s 3G artificial pitch at Hove Park
