A launch statement on the foundation’s website reads:
“It gives me great pleasure to launch The Savage Foundation.

“The Foundation will be committed to facilitating inspirational opportunities for young people to enjoy being physically active in a safe, fun and engaging environment – eliminating barriers to level the playing field.”
The Savage Foundation launches with The Law Family Charitable Foundation and Macclesfield Football Club. Starting in March, any child from within the Macclesfield & District area aged 5-12 will be able to apply to join free coaching sessions at the football club.
Those taking part will be giving their own kit to wear and receive a complimentary ticket to watch the Macclesfield FC first team in action.
