Barclays Community Sport Fund – Women’s Football & Fitness for Refugee Communities
Welcome & Wellbeing is a refugee-led community event bringing migrant and asylum-seeking families together for a joyful day in Hyde Park.
It’s more than just a picnic; it’s a safe space for people to relax, connect, and feel part of the community.
Many of these women face cultural, financial, and social barriers that prevent them from participating in sports, and this project breaks those barriers by offering free women-only football and fitness sessions in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment.
Led by female coaches and supported by community volunteers, the sessions go beyond sport — they build confidence, improve physical and mental wellbeing, and create strong bonds of friendship. Women come together not only to exercise but also to share stories, laugh, and support and empower one another.
Our goal is to reduce social isolation, promote healthy lifestyles, and open new pathways for women to engage in education, community leadership, and employment. By creating spaces where women feel comfortable and respected, we are helping to build stronger, more resilient communities.
