Reach Every Generation provide mentoring and coaching for young people across Essex, particularly those who may be at risk of grooming and exploitation or being drawn into crime and violence. In Spring 2021 we decided to form a community football club in Chelmsford which would serve as a safe, supportive environment for young people to get into football, playing alongside older and more experienced players who could act as positive role models and encourage their development.

Reach Every Generation FC entered the Chelmsford Sunday League in the Men’s Division 5, and we have just completed out second full competitive season. Our aim has always been to be competitive in the league and strive for trophies, whilst balancing that with a resolve to support our young and inexperienced players in their development on and off the football pitch.

The club has quickly established itself as a competitive force in the league, finishing 3rd in Division 5 this season and enjoying runs to the semi-final and the round of 16 in the League Cup and County Cup respectively. Our ambition is to continue to improve and hopefully secure silverware next season.

Gavin McKenna is the Founder of Reach Every Generation and acts as the club’s chairman, taking an active role in maintaining the club’s ethos and principles, and occasionally dusting off his boots for a game in centre mid. Gavin will also take over interim management of the squad for the 23/24 season, while Manager Ben Gribble takes extended paternity leave.

Ben has managed the club since it’s inception and also serves as the Club Secretary. He too has occasionally put his boots on for a run out in defence when numbers have been short but prefers to run things from the sidelines. In his day job, Ben is the Youth Mentor Team Leader for Reach Every Generation’s ‘Building Lives Project’, and some of the young people he has mentored have gone on to represent REG FC on a Sunday Morning.

As we look ahead to the 23/24 season, we find ourselves searching for a new first team goalkeeper to replace our outgoing number 1, but we would also welcome players of any position who wish to come along to our pre-season training sessions this summer and maybe sign up for the team. You will find a friendly, inclusive atmosphere and dedicated coaching to help players reach the top of their game. Pre-season is scheduled to begin in mid-July, on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings.
