REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities
The Wrexham AFC Community Trust is responsible for the delivery and development of a diverse set of projects and programmes across North Wales. We have, over the last 12 months, been in receipt of and delivered the Premier League Primary Stars grant. This grant allowed us to develop and deliver a project aimed at primary schools to enhance literacy, numeracy and physical activity standards. The project was delivered to over 15 primary schools with a number of fun football tournaments also taking place. In partnership with the National League Trust, we have also run the fourth year of a girl's programme which include taster sessions delivered in primary schools, curricular/extra-curricular sessions being delivered in high schools and community-based sessions that offer doorstep opportunities for girls to play football. As part of this project, we delivered 100 hours of girls only football to 10 High Schools and 100 hours of girls football taster sessions to 25 local primary schools across Wrexham and Flintshire. In partnership with the Football Association of Wales and as part of our aim to increase female participation, we have also run a project to support local clubs in setting up girl's football teams. We deliver football sessions at minimum cost at our hub at Ysgol Morgan Llwyd on a Tuesday evening for players aged between 5-16, with the aim being to offer the provision to keep the individual away from trouble and offer a cure for boredom. Also delivered on a Tuesday are autism friendly sessions at The Venture, Wrexham that are delivered on a weekly basis.
We secured funding to provide a step into coaching for 10 young people from disadvantaged backgrounds by providing them with access to the FAW Leaders Award coaching qualification along with first aid and child safeguarding qualifications. The participants were then mentored by WAFCCT staff to coach within the WAFCCT Soccer School programme to give them hands on experience and an opportunity to utilise their newly gained qualifications.
In partnership with the Disability Liaison Officer at Wrexham AFC, we have created an Autism Friendly football session for children aged between 4-11. WAFCCT staff deliver this session during every school holiday to autistic children and their families that allows them to take part in activities together as a family and also the freedom to express themselves without the pressure that a mainstream environment brings. We also deliver Powerchair sessions for both children and adults in partnership with Wrexham AFC, this session allows for participants with physical and mental disabilities to take part in sport and physical activity. Our partnership with Wrexham AFC to deliver Powerchair has resulted in us creating the first Powerchair club in Wales.
We have continued to develop our core programmes which include education projects (literacy, numeracy and healthy living through football), after school football clubs, futsal and mini football centres, centres of development, mental health sessions, girls only football, and soccer schools.
Our female section includes girls only turn up and play sessions for primary age and for high school age girls, something that is not offered anywhere else in the Wrexham and surrounding areas. We aim to promote healthy living throughout our community, as well as promoting Wrexham AFC. This can be seen in the number of our participants that visit Wrexham AFC either as part of a ground tour project, or to experience a match day activity at a first team game.
We have also expanded our programme to include a walking football session for people over the age of 40. This session is delivered with the aim of providing a safe environment for those who may struggle with social isolation and/or mental health issues and also for those who want to keep active. All participants are offered to arrive early at the WAFCCT classroom for a cup of tea and a chat before taking part in the physical activity.
We now have an increased pool of coaches and volunteers spanning across North Wales and are looking to increase this week on week. We work with Glyndwr University as a partner in this recruitment, offering students the opportunity to gain experience and also work with individuals to up skill them through their coaching qualifications. Glyndwr University currently run a football specific degree and we are able to offer work experience as part of this course. We have run workshops for local schools to highlight the problem of racism in society. The show racism the red card project has helped children understand the difficulties that arise in community areas and these children will pass the message on that any form of racism should not be tolerated.
We are now working with a number of partners to enable our delivery of projects and programmes. We currently work with the Football Association of Wales, The National League Trust, The Premier League, Glyndwr University, Wrexham, Flintshire and Denbighshire County councils and Wrexham AFC to enable and enhance our programme.
