. πŸ”΄ COMMUNITY REDS UPDATE – A WEEK OF OPPORTUNITIES, INCLUSION AND WALKING FOOTBALL! ⚽❀️

It’s amazing to see the different and varied roles we play as volunteers with The Community Reds!

Yesterday, it was fantastic to support and be part of the Charitable Tri-Nations International Walking Football event at Cwrt Herbert. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡Ύβš½

The event brought together teams from the Republic of Ireland, England and our very own Cymru Dragons for a fantastic afternoon of Walking Football, friendship and international sporting spirit. Even better, the event helped raise funds for Prostate Cancer Wales and The Boot Room.

A huge well done to everyone who took part and to all those who helped make the event such a success. πŸ‘

⚽ A NEW WEEK, A NEW CHAPTER!

Following a disappointing weekend of results for both Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC senior sides, with defeats for the men’s and women’s teams, it’s time to look forward to another week of fun, activity and opportunities here at The Community Reds.

Although our regular Outreach Programme may be taking a short break for half-term, there’s still plenty to keep us busy over the next few days!

We’ll be following up on the many positive leads and connections made at World Stroke Awareness Day, putting the finishing touches to some exciting upcoming training opportunities, and exploring new ways to create opportunities for people within our community.

Alongside all this, we have several important meetings lined up regarding the future of Walking Football in Wales and preparations for next year’s World Masters Walking Football Cup, which will be held at Stratford Town FC in beautiful Shakespeare Country. 🌍⚽

There’s never a dull moment when you’re part of the Community Reds family!

πŸ”΄ FRIDAY NIGHT UNDER THE LIGHTS!

We’ll be back at the Renewable Centre Stadium this Friday as Andy and the boys welcome Llandudno in the Novira Cymru Premiership.

Let’s get behind the team, pack out the stadium and bring that unmistakable Ferry passion, colour and noise!

Be loud, be proud and let’s show everyone what supporting Briton Ferry Llansawel is all about. β€οΈπŸ–€

❀️ A LITTLE REMINDER TO FINISH

Whatever you have planned today, remember to be kind, take care and look out for one another.

We never truly know what someone else might be going through, or the challenges they may be facing behind a smile.

Here at The Community Reds, we believe in supporting one another, creating opportunities and helping people recognise their strengths and potential.

We never look down on anyone β€” we only look to help them up.

Together, we can keep Creating, Enabling and Empowering Change, ensuring that nobody is ever left sitting on the bench.

πŸ”΄ A BUSY WEEKEND FOR THE REDS! πŸ”΄

A disappointing day on the road for Andy and the boys, going down 3-1 to Caernarfon, with Luke Bowen getting Ferry’s goal.

πŸ‘ Well done to everyone who made the long journey up north to get behind the boys. It was fantastic to hear the noise you generated and see the passion you continue to show in supporting the club. Your support never goes unnoticed!

❀️ COMMUNITY REDS – CREATING OPPORTUNITIES, MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Yesterday, it was great to be involved in World Stroke Awareness Day down at Aberavon, alongside Neath Port Talbot Stroke Club.

It was a real pleasure to speak to so many people and meet representatives from other organisations, sharing information about BFL Community Reds, our outreach work and the opportunities we can provide within our local communities.

Events like yesterday, alongside the many initiatives delivered through our Outreach Programme, are what make volunteering for the Community Reds so rewarding. Every day brings something different, with new people to meet, new connections to make and opportunities to help others develop, participate and thrive.

It's all about Creating, Enabling, Empowering Change – Ensuring Nobody Is Left Sitting on the Bench! ❀️

⚽ TOMORROW – WALKING FOOTBALL INTERNATIONAL!

We will be supporting the Charity International Walking Football Event at Cwrt Herbert, where Cymru Dragons will play host to England and the Republic of Ireland.

It promises to be a fantastic occasion, celebrating the game we all love, bringing people together and demonstrating that football really is a game for everyone.

If you want to see Walking Football at its best, why not pop along and show your support?

πŸ”΄ BRITON FERRY LLANSAWEL WOMEN – HOME ACTION!

Tomorrow afternoon, our women's team take on high-flying Cardiff Women at the Renewable Centre Stadium, with a 2pm kick-off.

Following last week's excellent away victory against Swansea City Women, the girls will be looking to build on that performance and take another positive result into the weekend.

Get yourselves down to the ground, get behind the team and give the girls the support they deserve!

Our aim remains simple: Creating, Enabling, Empowering Change – ensuring nobody is left sitting on the bench.

You may have seen that we’ll shortly be launching our Special Olympics Neath Port Talbot Group and programme.

This exciting new initiative will offer weekly, fully inclusive Special Olympics sports sessions, creating opportunities for people to get active, develop their skills, build confidence and enjoy being part of a team.

Alongside our weekly sessions, we’ll be looking to develop opportunities for competition and establish a structure that enables participants to progress and reach their potential.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to participate, develop and achieve!

πŸ“Œ For more information, please see the accompanying poster.

⚽ SUNDAY FOOTBALL – BACKING OUR WOMEN!

Sunday sees Briton Ferry Llansawel Women back in action at the Renewable Centre Stadium as they welcome Cardiff City Women, with a 2pm kick-off.

Following last week’s fantastic result against Swansea City, the women will be looking to build on that performance, continue their climb up the table and push for a place in the top four.

Let’s get down to the ground, show the girls our support and get behind them all the way! πŸ”΄πŸ‘

πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ COMMUNITY REDS – MAKING A DIFFERENCE BEYOND FOOTBALL

Sunday will also see the Community Reds supporting the Charity Home International Walking Football event at Cwrt Herbert.

The event will bring people together through walking football while raising valuable funds for two fantastic causes: Prostate Cancer Wales and The Boot Room.

It’s another great example of how sport can bring communities together, improve lives and support causes that matter.

❀️ ONE CLUB – ONE TEAM – ONE COMMUNITY

From the terraces to our community outreach, inclusive sport and volunteering initiatives, there’s always something happening at the Community Reds.

We’re proud of what we do, the people we work with and the opportunities we continue to create.

Remembering Aberfan – Creating Opportunities for All ❀️

Sixty years ago today, children went to school in Aberfan, South Wales, some never to return home. At 9.15am, tragedy struck when the Aberfan disaster claimed the lives of 116 children and 28 adults.

Today, we pause for a moment of quiet reflection to remember all those who lost their lives, the families and community forever affected, and all those who will never be forgotten. ❀️

Moving forward, today brings something different for our Community Reds volunteer team.

We are busy preparing for World Stroke Awareness Day this Friday in Aberavon, where we have been invited by one of our valued Community Reds Outreach Partners, Neath Port Talbot Stroke Club, to have a stand at the event.

This morning, our volunteers will be updating our information and display boards, preparing promotional materials and putting together some goodies to share with visitors.

Attending events like this is an important opportunity for us to meet people, build relationships, raise awareness and promote the work and role of the Community Reds within our local and wider community.

As we continue to grow and sustain our various initiatives, our focus remains on creating opportunities, encouraging participation and making a positive difference in people's lives.

Creating Enabling Empowering Change – Ensuring No-one is Left Sitting on the Bench.

As we await the Charity Commission's decision on our application to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), we continue to plan, develop and implement new activities and opportunities for all.

⚽ JOIN OUR COMMUNITY REDS MATCHDAY VOLUNTEER TEAM!

Alongside our community outreach sessions, we also support the matchday experience at Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC.

As we look to develop and enhance our matchday initiatives, we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our Games Maker team.

You'll have the opportunity to help organise and support:
πŸ”΄ Matchday mascots
πŸ”΄ Flag bearers
πŸ”΄ Player escorts
πŸ”΄ Half-time entertainment and activities

We also want to hear from local schools, community groups and teams interested in becoming flag bearers and player escorts at men's and women's matches at the Renewable Centre Stadium.

It's a fantastic opportunity to get involved, support your local football club, gain experience and help create a welcoming, enjoyable matchday for everyone.

Could you be part of our team? We would love to hear from you!

πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ SUPPORTING CHARITY THROUGH WALKING FOOTBALL

This Sunday, the Community Reds will be supporting a charity Walking Football event at Cwrt Herbert. All money raised will be split between Prostate Cancer and The Boot Room.

It's another great example of how sport can bring people together, promote inclusion and support worthwhile causes.

🌍 LOOKING AHEAD TO 2027 – THE WORLD MASTERS!

Looking further ahead, May 2027 will see the second World Masters Walking Football event take place at Stratford Town in England, in the home town of William Shakespeare.

Following the fantastic success of the World Masters event hosted here in August, next year's tournament promises to be even bigger and better!

It's another exciting opportunity to showcase this fantastic inclusive sport, bring people together from across the world and continue growing the game for players of all ages and abilities.

From community outreach and matchday volunteering to inclusive sport and international events, there are so many ways to get involved with the Community Reds.

One Club – One Team – One Community.

What a busy and exciting night down at the Renewable Centre Stadium last night! A massive well done to Andy and the boys, as a fantastic 5-0 victory sees Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC safely into the next round of the FAW Cup! πŸ”΄πŸ‘

On the first crisp, clear evening of the month, the Ferry Boys delivered in style in front of a buoyant and passionate crowd, boosted by fantastic support from our visitors, Afan United.

Led by hat-trick hero and Man of the Match Luke Bowen, the Ferry Boys booked their place in the Third Round in impressive fashion! ⚽⚽⚽

πŸ‘ A huge well done to both sets of supporters for creating such a fantastic atmosphere. It was also a special night for our Community Reds Games Makers, who made their debut and helped contribute to the matchday experience. Thank you to everyone involved!

A special mention, too, to the Afan United mascots, who proudly led the teams out onto the pitch and joined in the half-time entertainment. We hope you enjoyed your evening!

⚽ TOMORROW, OUR ATTENTION TURNS TO THE WOMEN! ⚽

Tomorrow, it's the turn of our Briton Ferry Llansawel Women, who travel to the Swansea.com Stadium to take on Swansea City Ladies.

Matches between these two sides are always exciting and closely contested affairs, and tomorrow's encounter promises to be another one to savour!

Both teams will be looking to bounce back after defeats in their last outings, with Swansea going down to Wrexham and our Ferry Women losing to current league leaders The New Saints.

If you're making the trip tomorrow, get behind the girls, make some noise and show your support! πŸ”΄πŸ‘

Wishing everyone travelling a safe journey. Let's get right behind our women's team!

πŸ”΄ WHAT'S NOT TO GET EXCITED ABOUT? πŸ”΄

As the excitement builds for this Friday night’s action at the Renewable Centre Stadium, plans are already being put in place for what could be the biggest attendance of the season!

We welcome Afan United, who will be looking to cause a cup upset against their Novira Cymru Premiership opponents. Add in the excitement of a cup tie, a local derby, football under the lights and live television coverage, and what’s not to get excited about? ⚽πŸ”₯

But matchday is about more than just the action on the pitch. It’s also about the people, the community and the opportunities that bring us all together.

❀️ This is one of the reasons I got involved volunteering with the Community Reds and its many initiatives.

From delivering our Community Outreach sessions to supporting our matchday activities, there is always something to get involved in, new people to meet and opportunities to make a difference.

Creating. Enabling. Empowering Change.

Ensuring Nobody Is Left Sitting on the Bench.

As the Community Reds continues to grow, with a wide range of initiatives, activities and sessions supporting our local and wider communities, we are now looking for new volunteers to join our team and help us take the next exciting steps forward.

πŸ™Œ COULD YOU BE OUR NEXT COMMUNITY REDS VOLUNTEER?

There are opportunities to get involved in a variety of ways, including:

❀️ Supporting our community wellbeing programmes and outreach sessions.

🀝 Helping local community groups enjoy inclusive activities, friendship and new experiences.

⚽ Joining our Games Maker Programme, helping to create memorable matchday experiences for supporters and visitors at the Renewable Centre Stadium.

🌟 Sharing your skills, knowledge, enthusiasm and time to help others feel included and part of something special.

Volunteering with the Community Reds makes a real difference, not only to the community groups we support but also to me personally.

It gives me a sense of purpose, supports my own physical health and mental wellbeing, and allows me to share my skills and experience while working alongside others who want to make a positive difference.

There is something special about being part of a team, knowing that even a little of your time can help somebody feel included, improve their wellbeing, build confidence and enjoy new opportunities.

πŸ”΄ NOW IS THE TIME TO GET INVOLVED!

We are recruiting volunteers for the next exciting chapter of the Community Reds, and we need YOU to help us grow!

Whether you can spare a few hours on matchdays, support a community session or offer your skills in another way, your contribution could make a lasting difference.

You don’t need to change the world on your own. Sometimes, changing one person’s day is a great place to start.

πŸ“© Want to find out more?

.πŸ”΄ COMMUNITY REDS – OUTREACH, INCLUSION & COMMUNITY SPIRIT! πŸ”΄

It's been another busy few days for our Community Reds Outreach Volunteer, delivering activities with two of our valued Community Reds Partners! ❀️

This week, we visited Age Connect Neath Port Talbot in Margam and Me Myself & I in Seven Sisters, bringing people together through physical activity, friendly competition and, most importantly, social interaction.

πŸ₯‡ MINI OLYMPICS – MARGAM

Tuesday saw members of the Neath and Margam Age Connect groups come together to compete in the latest round of our Community Reds Mini Olympics!

Teams representing Neath and Margam went head-to-head, while the remaining members of the Margam group formed the aptly named Margam Misfits team.

And it was the Margam Misfits who came out on top, taking home the πŸ₯‡ Gold medals! Margam secured πŸ₯ˆ Silver, with Neath claiming πŸ₯‰ Bronze.

Congratulations to everyone who took part! πŸ‘

Of course, it wasn't just about the medals. Everyone enjoyed a fantastic morning of friendly competition, conversation and laughter. The homemade refreshments were also greatly appreciated as participants took the opportunity to relax, chat and socialise with friends old and new.

πŸ”΅ BOCCIA FUN – SEVEN SISTERS

Today, we headed up to Seven Sisters to spend the afternoon with our friends at Me Myself & I.

The group enjoyed another lively Boccia session, with plenty of competitive spirit and several closely fought matches along the way!

After some excellent play from both sides, it was the Blue Team who emerged as the overall winners. Well done to everyone who took part! πŸ‘

❀️ WHY OUR OUTREACH PROGRAMME MATTERS

Our Community Reds Outreach Programme works alongside our valued community partners to give adults aged 50+ opportunities to participate in regular physical and social activities within their local communities.

For over three years, we have been delivering a range of inclusive activities designed to help people improve their physical, mental and social wellbeing.

Each session incorporates three key elements:

⚽ Physical activity – including strength, mobilisation, balance and coordination exercises.

πŸ† Inclusive activities – adapted games and challenges that encourage participation, build confidence and bring people together.

β˜• Friendship and social interaction – providing time to chat, share experiences and build meaningful connections.

By encouraging people to become more active and connected, we aim to help reduce social isolation, improve wellbeing and create opportunities for everyone to get involved.

Our philosophy remains simple:

β€œEnsuring Nobody is left sitting on the Bench.”

Because at the Community Reds, it's not just about the activity or the result. It's about participation, friendship, inclusion and the difference we can make together.

πŸ”΄ NEXT UP – FAW CUP ACTION UNDER THE LIGHTS!

Our attention now turns to Friday night, when Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC host Afan United in the Second Round of the FAW Cup at the Renewable Centre Stadium, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

🍻 Bar Red opens at 5.45pm, with Happy Hour to get the evening underway!

πŸ“Ί With the match being shown live on TV, this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase our club, our supporters and our community to a wider audience.

Let's make it a memorable night under the lights! Bring your friends, bring your family, bring the noise and help create a packed, bouncing Renewable Centre Stadium.

This is your club. This is your community. This is your opportunity to be part of the matchday experience!

πŸ”΄ One Club – One Team – One Community.
❀️ Create. Enable. Empower. Change.
