Swansea City AFC Foundation deliver books to Ynysfach Primary School as part of EFL Together campaign

Swansea City AFC Foundation has donated books promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion to Ynysfach Primary School as part of the EFL Together campaign.

The EFL has donated over 2,000 books to clubs across England and Wales for local primary schools, helping to provide vital education to young people on these important topics.

The book collections include a wide range of titles which represent different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives; promoting diversity in literature, in order to help inspire understanding, empathy, and a sense of unity.

Club ambassador Lee Trundle and Foundation sports and education co-ordinator Katy Hosford delivered the books to pupils from the Neath school.

“It’s great the EFL are spreading the message of diversity and inclusion, these messages will filter through the schools and into the wider communities,” said Trundle.

“With the diversity that we have in society today, it’s important that young people learn about equality and inclusion from an early age.

“There are a real variety of books, and it’s important for young people to have something that interests them that they can really engage with.”

Hosford added: “It’s always great to encourage young people to read, but to have them reading about such important topics really adds to it.

“You could see how excited the pupils were when they received their books and that’s really great, we want to have young people feeling enthusiastic about reading.

“I think these topics are crucial for young people to learn about, it helps them to grow and understand how to treat people.”
