Community Reds

. Great result for Andy and the boys yesterday! With six games left and an eight-point gap opened up, is it enough? Only time will tell — but it certainly puts us in a strong position as we continue pushing to secure the points needed to guarantee our premiership status.

Yesterday was another busy and rewarding day for the Community Reds team in our matchday roles within the club. Meeting and greeting visitors to the Renewable Centre Stadium, ensuring everyone receives a warm welcome, is something we take great pride in. Creating a positive, inclusive environment for all supporters is at the heart of what we do.

It was fantastic to chat with supporters who had travelled from the West Country to enjoy the game. Hearing such positive comments about the club and the matchday atmosphere is always inspiring. Feedback like this motivates us to keep creating, improving, and delivering the very best matchday experience possible.

Over the coming months, we’ll be working closely with Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC on a number of exciting initiatives as we continue to Create, Enable, Empower — living our message of One Club. One Team. One Community. Proud to be part of it.

Tonight, our Community Reds Walking Football squads are back in training at Crt Herbert. For more information, check out the Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC Walking Football Club page. This section, alongside the wider Community Reds programme, continues to grow — breaking down barriers, creating opportunities for all, and ensuring nobody is left sitting on the bench.

As members of the team take some well-earned time to recharge, reflect, and learn from this week’s activities, we look ahead ready for a brand-new week.

Whatever you’re doing today — enjoy.
Up the Reds 🔴

Saturday. Bala. The Road.
It's an early one for the Reds tomorrow as we host Bala Town at the Renewable Centre Stadium ko12.30

Let's fill the Road Reds!

As we look ahead to tomorrow’s big match at the Renewable Centre Stadium, we’re excited to welcome Bala Town F.C. for our latest Cymru Premier fixture.

Three points are a must for Andy and the boys as we fight to secure our place in the Welsh top flight and push for an end-of-season European Play-Off spot — currently held by Haverfordwest County A.F.C.. With just seven games to go, everything is still to play for, setting up an exciting finish to the campaign.

Looking ahead, the 2026/27 season will see the Cymru Premier expand to 16 teams. That makes it even more important that we continue collecting the points needed to secure our status — and hopefully mount a serious challenge for that European place.

It’s been another busy week here at the Community Reds, delivering our various outreach programmes and carrying out our many roles in partnership with Briton Ferry Llansawel A.F.C., both in the community and on matchdays.

One of those roles is the SLO Disability Access Officer, sharing information with the visiting supporters and supporting all supporters with additional needs to access the Renewable Centre Stadium.

Kick-off tomorrow is at 12:30pm, and it would be fantastic to see you there — adding your voice and passion as you cheer on Andy and the boys.

So let’s make some noise! 🔴⚪.

It’s another busy day here at Community Reds HQ. The morning began with a range of administrative tasks to ensure we continue progressing and delivering the very best outcomes for our members and community partners. This includes reviewing and updating all necessary Health & Safety legislation, completing our monthly Community Reds Safety Audits, and ensuring all essential policies and procedures are in place to meet the standards of a modern organisation.

Today also features our Extra Time Friendship Club from 12–2pm, bringing members together for connection and support. After that, we head out for another Community Outreach session — this time visiting Me Myself and I in Briton Ferry, Llansawel.

This afternoon’s activity will be New Age Kurling, keeping with our Winter Olympics theme — a fantastic way to promote fun, inclusion, and friendly competition.

Another great day of making a positive difference in our community!

Are you all set for Saturday? ⚽

Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC take on Bala Town in the Cymru Premier at the Renewable Centre Stadium, with a 12:30pm kick-off.

.It’s been a busy start to the week here at Community Reds!

Today’s agenda has included a range of administration tasks, project budgeting and planning, as well as completing this month’s Health & Safety Audit and SLO Disability Access Officer’s Report — all essential work to ensure our sessions continue to run safely, effectively and inclusively.

Tomorrow, we’re back out in the community with our Community Reds Outreach Programme, delivering a fun and engaging Winter Olympics-themed session. Our Outreach Programme provides older adults and people with disabilities the opportunity to access physical and social activities within their local community — helping to increase physical activity levels while reducing social isolation.

Community Reds has been delivering activities for adults aged 50+ for over two years. The aim of the project is simple: to support people in improving their physical, mental and social wellbeing through regular, structured activity.

Each Community Reds session includes three key elements:

Strength

Mobilisation

Balance and coordination

These are delivered through one of our core activities, ensuring every session is fully inclusive, adaptable, and — most importantly — lots of fun.

We offer a wide range of sessions, each tailored to meet the needs of your specific community group.

For further information, or to find out how Community Reds could support your group, please get in touch — we’d love to hear from you

Finally to one of our Community Reds Match Day Team Martyn. We hope your back on your feet soon
