Taking part in @rainbowblades.com's LGBTQ+ inclusive sessions always means a great deal - a real mental health lifesaver during a difficult six months, as well as a great way to keep fit, build confidence on the pitch and befriend new people. ❤️
Tonight was our fortnightly Inclusive Football Session, featuring a friendly against Mount Pleasant Park FC. MPP edged it 13–9.
We continued to mark #TransAwarenessWeek and support the Football v Transphobia campaign 🏳️⚧️
Great to see participants growing in skills, confidence & wellbeing.
