Reading FC Community Trust

Together Against Racism 🤍💙

What does your culture mean to you?

Participants from our Premier League Kicks and Premier League Inspires programmes shared what their culture is and why it matters to them, then challenged Reading FC Women to do the same. From family and traditions to identity and sense of belonging, their stories show how our differences make our community stronger. 🌍

@readingfcwomen and Reading FC Community Trust are committed to celebrating cultural differences in our community, and to ensuring that everyone feels welcome, respected and proud of who they are, on and off the pitch.

🟡 Fancy a Golden Gamble this Saturday? 🟡

⚽ vs Bradford City | Sat 3 October | 3pm KO

We're back at the Select Car Leasing Stadium this weekend, so look out for our sellers in yellow jackets around the ground before kick-off and grab your ticket.

📣 NEW for this season: the draw now takes place ON THE PITCH at half time, so keep your ears open to find out if you're a winner!

Every ticket helps fund our work in the community, from RAP - our Alternative Provision for students to our Cerebral Palsy football teams. 💙

See you Saturday, and good luck!

For the sixth summer running, our free Maiden Erlegh Lake Fishing Programme gave local young people the chance to swap phones and computers for fresh air, water and a whole lot of fish🌿

Over five weeks, 35 young people aged 8–13 learned new skills, took part in friendly catch competitions and got to know the wildlife on their doorstep all completely free of charge.

Highlights from the summer:
✅ Around 50 fish caught per session - all safely returned to the lake!
✅ Rudd, roach, perch, gudgeon, mirror carp and common carp all making an appearance
✅ Young anglers using a catch checklist to identify different freshwater species

The moment of the summer was when one young person landed an incredible 162 fish in a single session a new programme record! The best part was it was their very first time ever fishing!🏆

Huge thanks to World of Water at Oaktree Bracknell whose generous sponsorship of equipment, tackle and bait made it all possible, and to Earley Town Council and everyone at the Trust for another brilliant year.
We can't wait to do it all again next summer. Here's to more time outdoors, new skills and unforgettable catches for young people in our community 💙

⚽ 🌟 Last week, we were delighted to support Meadow Park Academy's Sports Week as part of National School Sports Week!

Pupils enjoyed a fantastic carousel of activities, including football games, our popular football dartboard challenge, and Kin-ball, all designed to keep everyone active, engaged, and having fun.

Children embraced the Premier League Primary Stars values of being connected, ambitious, fair, and inspiring, earning rewards for their teamwork, determination, fair play, and enthusiasm. It was brilliant to see these values brought to life in every activity.

A huge thank you to everyone at Meadow Park Academy for making us feel so welcome. It was a pleasure to be part of such a positive celebration of sport and physical activity! 💙⚽
