The club, prior to and now after lockdown has proved as a successful outreach programme. Many young people bring their friends or housemates. People often join the football club and then learn of our youth group opening them up to the wider range of support services we offer. The communities built are strong because they are open and welcoming. Unlike other activities football is able to bring people from different home countries, ethnicities or mother tongues together. there is no need for English fluency or a sound cultural understanding when people play sport. this shows during the club and the youth members benefit from that welcoming, comfortable environment.
