Haverfordwest County are delighted to welcome Sandy Bear Children’s Bereavement Charity on board as an official Community Partner for the 2025-26 season.

Sandy Bear is a not-for-profit charity dedicated to improving and strengthening the emotional health and well-being of young people and their families, who have experienced the death of a loved one.

The charity aims to reduce emotional difficulties in childhood and prevent the longer-term challenges that can impact quality of life, educational attainment, relationships, and overall wellbeing.

The partnership will see the football club and Sandy Bear collaborate in a variety of ways to help make a positive impact within our local communities.

We look forward to sharing more details in the very near future, and we would like to thank Sandy Bear for their support.
