Lest We Forget❤️

📢 Exciting News for Foundation Park and Swindon! We are delighted to announce that we have submitted a full planning application for a new phase of improvements at Foundation Park. The proposals include: ✅ A brand-new covered multi-sports facility ✅ An extended car park to improve accessibility ✅ The relocation of the SBC compound area Since opening in 2019, Foundation Park has become a thriving community hub, welcoming thousands of people from across Swindon and the surrounding areas. The facilities have been a tremendous success, providing opportunities for sport, recreation, health and wellbeing all year round. With demand for the site continuing to grow and the facilities operating at full capacity for much of the year, these proposed developments would enable us to meet increasing community needs while expanding the range of activities and programmes we can offer. Jon Holloway, Director of Community, said: "Since Foundation Park was built in 2019, the community facilities have been a resounding success, serving thousands of people across Swindon and the surrounding areas. With the facility operating at full capacity for much of the year, we have been developing proposals for a new covered multi-sports pitch." "High-quality indoor facilities are becoming increasingly important, not only during the wet winter months but also during periods of extreme weather. This summer's heatwaves demonstrated first-hand the value of having accessible indoor spaces where participants can continue to enjoy sport and physical activity safely and comfortably." "The additional space outlined in our plans would enable the Foundation to extend its reach, increase participation opportunities, and create an even greater positive impact for the local community for years to come." We look forward to sharing further updates as the planning process progresses and thank everyone who continues to support the growth and development of Foundation Park. 🔴⚪️⚽️ #ProudToBeSwindon #WherePeopleMatter

This week, we have begun delivering the Joy of moving programme, developed by Ferrero UK and the EFL in the Community. The Joy of moving programme is Ferrero’s corporate social responsibility programme that encourages children to take part in physical activity and inspires them to lead an active lifestyle. Through a unique play-based approach, Joy of moving helps to inspire children to get active and also to develop key skills like motor coordination, and life skills. We are proud to be offering this programme in 4 schools around Swindon this term, with more lined up for 2027.

🔴⚪ Shout out to this legend 👏 Two years ago, Lewis was part of our STFC Foundation Centre programme, taking his first steps on our player pathway. Since then, he's progressed into our Invite Only sessions and, following his continued development and hard work, has now been selected for one of our STFC Elite teams! ⚽ A fantastic achievement and a moment to be incredibly proud of. Well done, Lewis! ❤️ Lewis's journey is a brilliant example of the opportunities available through our STFC Foundation player pathway. Starting at our Foundation Centres, players have the opportunity to develop their skills, build confidence and, where appropriate, progress into Invite Only sessions and beyond, with opportunities to access our Advanced and Elite environments. Every player's journey is different, but we're proud to provide opportunities for young footballers to develop, challenge themselves and see where their football can take them.
