Sports Connect have helped me with my struggles outside of sports and to grow as a person, the staff are nice people to talk to and are people I can have a laugh with. I enjoyed studying on the NCFE level 3 coaching pathway, I have gained experience through working with other coaches and delivering my own sessions which supported my development and confidence.

When I first came to Sports Connect, I had a fixed mindset towards a lot of things and other people. Having completed my first term, I have met lots of different people and learnt that sport brings people together. I’m more considerate towards my peers and supportive and generally have an appreciation for sport has done for me.

The weekly sessions provide an opportunity for the guys to relax and have fun. Many of them have been on traumatic journeys, and the uncertainty whilst waiting for the outcome of their asylum claims can be very stressful. Football gives them the opportunity to forget about their problems for a few hours. The sessions also give them an opportunity to be part of the local community. Playing football with some of the local players allows them to make friends and connect locally. This is one of the most important aspects for the participants. Over the weeks, I’ve seen their confidence grow and a number have joined volunteer and training programmes as a result of these connections.
