A JUNIOR football club is hoping the local community will step in to help it achieve its new objectives.

Richmond FC's junior section has enjoyed business backing from Amey Plc, which has covered the cost of six new strips.

But the club has its sights set on FA Standard Development Status by the end of the year, which means that more helpers will be needed.

More business backing, volunteer coaches and help with running events would be welcomed.

Anyone who can help is asked to contact (01325) 718924.
