Swansea City AFC Foundation gift over £3000 back to grassroots clubs

Swansea City AFC Foundation has gifted more than £3000 to grassroots football clubs following a successful summer of junior club soccer camps.

Ten clubs took part in the Foundation’s summer soccer camps including Ammanford, Bancffosfelen, Brecon Town, Bryn Rovers, Clarbeston Road, Cwrt Herbert Colts, Drefach, Llandeilo, Port Tennant Colts and Seaside.

Over 650 children enjoyed the football-filled days with their fellow teammates, while their respective clubs also benefitted from partnering with the Foundation.

To support grassroots football in south Wales, Swansea City AFC Foundation donated £3,310, raised from soccer camp bookings, back to the 10 clubs involved.

Further opportunities were also taken up by Bancffosfelen and Ammanford, who made up the guard of honour at Swansea City’s first two home Championship fixtures this season.

“It’s been another great summer of club soccer camps and we want to thank everyone who got involved,” said Craig Richards, youth engagement manager at Swansea City AFC Foundation.

“To see the children having fun is what it’s all about but for us to be able to give something back to their clubs is really important.

“As an organisation we’re in a privileged position to be able to offer memorable experiences like the guard of honour too. It was fantastic to see the excitement of the children going onto the pitch and being that close to the players.

“We’re looking forward to working with the clubs again in the near future and wish them all the best for the upcoming season.”
