Meet coach Ria! We’re so excited to have coaching our training sessions and leading the club.

Here’s a little more about Ria in her own words, plus more about what you can expect from SupportUtd 😎

There’s still plenty of time to sign up at www.supportu.org.uk/supportutd

‘My name is Ria Percival and I’m an ex professional footballer. I played professionally for over 16 years. I represented my national team of New Zealand and have played in 5 World Cups and 4 Olympic Games. I have been lucky enough to travel the world playing football, playing in many different countries throughout my career.

I am excited to be running these sessions and to give a chance to anyone who wants to give football a go, in a sociable, friendly environment. The main objective is that we have fun whilst learning about different areas of football. For some people it could be an escape from everyday life and give you a chance to get moving, have some fun and put a smile on your face. So get down and join us and come see what it’s about.”

💗💜💙 Today is Bi Visibility Day – a chance to celebrate the bi community, challenge stereotypes, and highlight the unique experiences of those who are often overlooked or misunderstood.

At SupportU, we know that visibility matters. Bi+ people can face erasure and exclusion both inside and outside of LGBTQ+ spaces, which makes recognition and understanding even more important.

🌈 Our team provides training, support, and safe spaces to help workplaces and communities become more inclusive – ensuring that everyone, including bi+ individuals, feels seen, respected, and supported.

Let’s work together to build a world where no one has to hide who they are.

Recently, our Interim COO Emily met with Bracknell Forest’s MP, Peter Swallow.

Peter is the first Labour MP for Bracknell, bringing a fresh and locally rooted perspective to Parliament. With an impressive academic background and a strong focus on education, infrastructure, social equity, and community issues, he has quickly established himself as an active and engaged representative - committed to driving meaningful change both locally and nationally.

As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, Peter has also been vocal about the importance of equality and inclusion.

Reflecting on the meeting, Emily said:
“I was impressed with Peter’s commitment to LGBTQ+ issues and his willingness to support us as a charity. He was genuinely enthusiastic about our new ideas and how we can work together to drive things forward. It was refreshing to meet an MP who truly cares about change, inclusion, and community support - not only in Bracknell, but beyond”.
