Community Reds

31/01/2026

What a fantastic and busy week it’s been at the Community Reds!

The delivery of our brand-new, branded Community Reds minibus is a huge milestone and will make a real difference to our work across the local and wider community. It opens up even more opportunities for everyone — both on and off the field.
Today, our Community Reds Walking Football Women’s squads are in tournament action. Best of luck to everyone taking part! ⚽

And speaking of Walking Football, plans for the first-ever World Masters Walking Football Cup — to be staged at the Renewable Centre Stadium this August — are gathering real momentum. Teams from around the world will be joining us for what promises to be a prestigious and exciting event. Alongside showcasing the sport, we’ll also be demonstrating the fantastic hospitality and warm welcome from the hillside. As you can imagine, our Community Reds volunteers are putting in a huge amount of work to ensure the event is a success.

Our plans to establish the Community Reds as an independent CIO are now reaching their final stages. This is a hugely important step for the organisation and its future business model. As an independent charity partner of Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC, the Community Reds will help deliver several key areas of the five-year development plan. Achieving charity status will also allow us to continue building strong links with community groups and partners — to Create, Enable and Empower Change, ensuring nobody is left sitting on the bench.

Talking of sitting on the bench — why not join us this Sunday afternoon for some live football action? Briton Ferry Llansawel Ladies take on local rivals Swansea City Ladies at the Renewable Centre Stadium, with a 5.10pm kick-off. Our Community Reds matchday volunteers will be on hand to welcome you — and hopefully make some noise!

Finally, the club is advertising for a Commercial Manager to join Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of an exciting future, as the club establishes itself as a major force in the new-look Cymru Premier

What a signing. What a day.

Yesterday we proudly took delivery of our branded Community Reds minibus, and it’s already clear the impact this will have on our work.

The minibus will provide transport for supporters to follow Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC to our remaining away games. However, the biggest benefit will be to the Community Reds Outreach Programme.

It will enable and empower us to grow the activities we already provide — breaking down barriers of isolation and loneliness, creating opportunities for fun, friendship and inclusion, and ensuring no one is left sitting on the bench.

We saw this impact in action yesterday afternoon during a fun-filled outreach session in Seven Sisters with Me, Myself and I – Neath Port Talbot. The session was full of laughter, friendship and inclusion as we delivered New Age Kurling and Boccia, bringing people together in a positive and welcoming environment.

If you’d like to find out more about the Community Reds Programme and how we Create, Enable and Empower Change, please get in touch.

Together, we’re ensuring nobody is left sitting on the bench.

It’s been a very busy and exciting weekend for the Community Reds! 🔴
Our Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC Walking Football Club – Community Reds Ladies Team were in competitive action, and as many of you will have seen on our page, they performed superbly and gave an excellent account of themselves. 💪⚽
As we continue to push forward with our plans, we’re delighted to share that we have some very exciting news in the pipeline around our Community Reds Outreach Programme. A range of new and engaging initiatives are on the way, all staying true to our ethos:
Creating, Enabling and Empowering Change – Ensuring No-one Is Left Sitting on the Bench.
Tomorrow our fantastic volunteers will be out and about delivering the Outreach Programme at a new venue in Seven Sisters with Me, Myself and I Neath Port Talbot. Then in the afternoon, it’s back to Bar Red for our Extra Time Friendship Club, running from 1–3pm.

Awesome to see the Ynysygerwyn Junior mascots enjoying Fridays game and our half time ‘In it to bin it’ challenge sponsored by Browns Waste Management & Recycling Limited finishing with a changing room sing song with the team👏

Another 3 points in the bag for Andy and the boys last night! 👏
Huge thanks to everyone who braved the conditions, got right behind the team, and made plenty of noise — your support really mattered.
It was fantastic to see Big Sam back on the pitch after his long-term injury lay-off. Coming off the bench and then, just a minute later, scoring the third goal — what a return! ⚽️
There’s still a long way to go, and I’m sure the final nine games will bring plenty of twists and turns. But today, we can celebrate a job well done.

Tomorrow, our Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC Walking Football Club Women’s section are in tournament action in the St George’s Cup, while some of the men will be travelling up to Newtown for the Cymru Dragons Walking Football selection and training weekend.
Best of luck to both the ladies and the men! 💙🖤
