One Community Cricket & Family Day 2024 Ref: 20333 by Community United West Berkshire Location: West Berkshire (Local Authority) We want to use the funds to organise the third "One Community Cricket and Family Day 2024". The organisation involves hiring the cricket grounds, first aid provision, certificates for participants, bottled water and other items required for a successful running of an event of such magnitude. Last year's event was very successful and is one of the reasons why this year's event is oversubscribed in terms of the cricket teams that would like to take part, even though we have doubled the capacity this year! This event is the manifestation of our commitment to: - bringing communities together - raising awareness and working to eliminate discrimination - promoting positive relationships between our diverse communities - advocating for equal opportunities for all We believe that a multicultural sport and social community events involving all of the many different ethnic minority and diverse communities as well as the majority community in the area is one of the best ways of promoting all of these strands and bring us all together. The event will go ahead in some form regardless – the funding will ensure that the event is promoted widely to encourage the highest possible attendance, and that the facilities we provide and the family entertainment on the day in addition to the cricket competition will be as diverse and engaging as possible. - Diversity is a fact. - Equity is a choice. - Inclusion is an action - Belonging is an outcome. The One Community Cricket and Family Fun Day is all about belonging. There is more information on our website, here: https://lnkd.in/ezy_wFKJ Interested in donating:- https://lnkd.in/er-psU7h.

🌟 We're excited to share this conversation featuring Play for Dignity board member, Marco Di Buono, President of Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities, during his recent appearance on TVO's The Agenda with Steve Paikin. In this discussion, Marco highlighted the urgent need for systemic solutions to make sport accessible to all children. As Marco noted, "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵...

We couldn't agree more. Play for Dignity was established to help find solutions to the systemic challenges faced by Canada’s sport and physical activity ecosystem. A systemic approach helps us to unpack why barriers persist, how they're interrelated, and how each part of the ecosystem can address these challenges. It is not enough to identify short-term fixes; we need a long-term strategy that enshrines the right to sport, play, and physical activity for all in Canada. We're excited to embark on this journey and invite you to join us! Stay connected by following us and signing up for our newsletter to be part of the conversation as we work together to identify systemic challenges and build solutions that make sport accessible for every child. 💪🏽 #RightToPlay #YouthSports #HumanRights #PlayForDignity #SportsForAll #EquityInSports

Time for Change: Accessibility in Football Needs a Kick-Start! Level Playing Field (Reg Charity) is urging UEFA to take real action for disabled football fans. Their survey shows serious gaps - poor communication, unsafe seating, and inadequate matchday support. With 79% of wheelchair users positioned in risky areas, it’s clear: UEFA must lead the charge in making football truly inclusive. It’s time for stadiums across Europe to deliver for all fans ⚽ #FootballForAll #Accessibility #InclusiveStadiums #UEFA #LevelPlayingField #DisabledFans https://lnkd.in/eD7QUidX https://lnkd.in/ew5cmfy2

🌟 From Dusty Fields to Stadium Lights: Nurturing Tomorrow's Football Stars 🌟 Did you know? • Cristiano Ronaldo shared a small room with his siblings in a poor Madeira neighborhood. • Lionel Messi's family couldn't afford his growth hormone treatment. • Neymar's family often couldn't pay for electricity. • Sadio Mané played with balls made from plastic bags in his Senegalese village. These football legends rose from poverty to become global icons. Their stories remind us: the next superstar might be playing on a dusty field right now, waiting for a chance to shine. That's why I'm excited about the work of the Omuto Foundation. They're changing lives through: ✅ Open tryouts and scouting ✅ Youth tournaments (like the upcoming Omuto Cup U18) ✅ Holistic development focusing on education and life skills ✅ Transforming grassroots teams into community mentorship groups 💡 Here's how YOU can make a difference: • Donate footballs or jerseys • Sponsor a team or player • Contribute to a player's education (even 1,000 UGX or a dollar for breakfast can improve academic performance) Remember: No one is born a star – stars are made through opportunity, hard work, and support. 🔗 Learn more and get involved: https://lnkd.in/db66Fdyt #GrassrootsFootball #YouthEmpowerment #SportsForChange #OmutoFoundation Who's with me in supporting the next generation of football stars?

On the back of our successful debut collaboration - PARK is the official ball of San Marino once again 🇸🇲 The Titanico739 S2 remains completely bespoke and reflective of their unique culture. But take a closer look and you'll notice a special detail. Woven between the leaves, are the names of San Marino’s nine castelli. Directly translated as castles, they represent the individual municipalities and their teams that compete in the Republic’s top flight - the Campionato Sammarinese di Calcio. With their purchase of 1000 footballs for the upcoming season, San Marino is a small country creating a big impact. That’s because through the PARK Pass-a-ball Project, when you buy a ball, we pass another to a player in need around the world. Through this unique partnership, another 1000 balls will be donated to players in need, starting 100,000 games that otherwise wouldn’t have been played. It’s the same PARK one for one impact, FIFA Pro Certified - uniquely made for San Marino and wherever the game takes them. #BrandPartnerships #BrandCollaboration #Collaboration #community #communityfirst

Hello everyone. I've got some updates on our football club project. There's a lot going on these days, but I'll try to be brief. Considering the debts Aqtobe City FC has and the bureaucracy involved in paying the debts, I suggested that we start a new club or use another local existing uncertified club (AFC Uran, FC Aqtobe 1869). It will be cheaper and quicker. The form of organisation I propose is a limited company, so that anyone who supports the club will have a chance to benefit from the investment and effort made. Donations are welcome too, but in my opinion we as a club need to give something back to the investors (or offer some rewards like ads, fanshop gifts etc). All financial activities of the club will be transparent. As I have received many messages from interested sponsors, players, coaches and agents, I believe that we will be able to raise the necessary funds to apply for participation in the Kazakhstani League Two and the Kazakh Cup this season. 45,000 dollars is enough to start the club. The minimum annual budget is estimated to be around 125k dollars. I'm so confident of success that I mortgaged my own flat to invest that money in the club (but is is 17k dollars only). I also have created a page to raise funds for the club at https://lnkd.in/d3KMU3zf. As I said, any donations are to be rewarded accordingly. For other ways of cooperation and any questions please contact me directly. For those who want their players to play for our club: Currently we are not allowed to have non-Kazakhstani players playing in Kazakhstan's League Two, but if we are promoted to League One we will be allowed to sign up to 5-6 non-Kazakhstani players. It is highly likely to promote because League Two is predominantly a league of U18 football academies teams, so for the team of older and more experienced players it is realistic to become a runner-up if not a champion of the league. That is why I am suggesting to concentrate on successful Kazakh Cup campaign like FC Saarbrücken did this season in German Cup. I believe we can make it to quarter final of Kazak Cup too. We are allowed to use non-Kazakh players for friendlies and pre-season tournaments, so you may be interested in marketing your players this way, or playing yourself if you are a player looking for some international experience/playing history records. There are no nationality restrictions for coaching staff, medical staff, administrators etc. The head coach must have at least a UEFA A licence. The good news is that we will have a certified municipal stadium to play our home matches, as agreed with the local state authorities. Great news! Feel free to ask questions if any.
