Who said Women Shouldn't Play Football?165 days ago
 
Afroscots United would like to invite you all to our women’s outdoor 5-aside football tournament – “Who said Women Shouldn’t play Football?” – on Saturday 20th June 2009 at Firhill Sports Complex (11am – 4pm).

This follows on from our first women's football tournament that was successfully held at Kelvin Hall International Sports Arena in December 2008. The tournament will aim to promote diversity and gender equality by encouraging women from all backgrounds to take part. This is because we firmly believe that sport has the capacity to unlock potential and the power to bring positive social change.

So it doesn’t matter whether you are a pro, semi-pro, amateur, or have never kicked a ball in your life because the tournament will be filled with people of different abilities but all with one goal: To Make It a Fun-Filled Event.

This is not to mention the fantastic prizes we have on offer:

Winners - Trophy, medals and £100 sports vouchers
Runners-up - Medals and £50 sports vouchers
3rd Place - Medals and £25 sports vouchers

Fancy giving it a go? Then all you need to do is get a team with a minimum of five players and contact admin@afroscotsunitedfc.com to register your team.

Many thanks,
Afroscots United Organising Committee

Look beyond the label165 days ago
 
Refugee Week celebrates the important contribution of refugees to UK society. This year we're asking you to look look beyond labels to the true identity of the refugee in modern Britain. Only by looking beyond the status and label of 'refugee', can we overcome prejudice and help people restore their sense of identity and belonging.

The best way you can show your support is by changing your online status and profile during Refugee Week. This will identifty you as a supporter and encourage others to acknowledge the important issue of refugee identity. Simply download the status pack or packs you want and follow the instructions. It only takes a moment to change your status and make a lasting contribution to the lives of refugees in the UK.

We are proud to present Refugee Week Scotland's first festival which draws together a diverse range of films from around the world exploring the refugee experience.

From the ravaged landscape of Uganda in War Dance to the poignant depiction of friendship in The Kite Runner and the moving tale of survival in Turtles Can Fly , these are films which cannot fail to move you and provide a special insight into lives lived on a knife edge.

The festival will conclude with One Scotland Many Voices - a jam packed weekend of film, discussion, music, art and performance - the final event at Glasgow Media Access Centre before their move to Trongate 103.
