Regional Reps Club Visits - '𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙁𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙡'

At the recent 𝗘𝗙𝗗𝗡 Conference in Seville, we heard of so many wonderful ways football clubs have been having an impact in their local communities and that their programmes have been ‘𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙁𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙡’.

This rings true where our Regional Reps have seen the incredible impact our club’s programmes are having on those whom attend their sessions.

West Regional Rep, Drew Wilson regularly attends and support the 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗴𝗼𝘄 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 - 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮 session where wife’s bring their husbands and care homes bring their residents. A truly powerful use of football supporting the physical and mental health of those who attend.

Over in the East of Scotland, Regional Rep, Gordon Farquharson has also seen the impact of football with 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 delivering a weekly Mental Health walking football group where numbers are continually growing.

We know the true importance of physical, mental and social benefits the game brings but these programmes certainly highlight that it is definitely ‘𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙁𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙡’.
