We are also proud to be working in partnership with Pembrokeshire Targeted Youth Team and Street Football Wales to help tackle homelessness and social exclusion through football. This video explains what Street Football all is about, and what are trying to do to tackle homelessness.

Back in May, we were invited to the premiere of ‘Tosh’, a film created by EatSleep Media which tells the incredible footballing story of former Wales manager, John Toshack. The premiere was shown at the Swansea.com Stadium, home of Swansea City. Prior to the screening, we spoke with EatSleep Media about all the work we are doing as a club to support people living with dementia. The interviews featured on FC Cymru, the Football Association of Wales’ magazine show, and helped us to promote our new Hapus Young Onset Dementia service and the new Sporting Memories Foundation sessions we are delivering at the club.

Episode 4 of our club documentary, You Can Have It All, focuses on the various community projects being carried out by the football club, and outlines the positive impact they are having in the local area.
