⚽ Sanctuary Strikers are back in training! 💪🏾

We’re excited to kick off a new season and proud to share that some of our players from previous years have settled well in Berkshire and moved on to other local clubs 👏🏾—with two now joining football academies! 🔥

We’ve also welcomed some new faces and are looking forward to building something special together. ❤️

🙏🏾 As always, we kindly ask for your support. We’re in need of football boots for our new players and would greatly appreciate any financial donations to help keep the team going.

All support can be made through our amazing partners at Refugee Support Group
🌐 https://refugeesupportgroup.org.uk/

Every pair of boots, every penny, and every kind word helps us keep the game alive for those starting fresh in our community. Thank you! 💙⚽

⚽ Boots Needed for a Brighter Future 👟

Sanctuary Strikers FC is calling on our amazing community for support ❤️

We’ve welcomed some incredible new players to the team – asylum seekers who are passionate about football but currently unable to work while waiting on their status. Many of them are without basic gear, especially football boots, which are the most urgently needed.

If you have any spare boots – new or gently used – please consider donating them. We're also gratefully accepting training kits, socks, shin pads, and any other football gear you might have lying around.

Together, we can make a real difference and help these players feel part of something special 💪⚽

📍 Drop-off or collection can be arranged – just send us a message!

Thank you for standing with us 🙏
