Bs4Red Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Great to see the players taking time out of their holidays to be part of interacting with the community. Bobby Reid took Parson St on a tour of the stadium today and other players have been doing their recently too! Too my knowledge we are by far and away one of the best clubs for community based interaction. Through the club and the trust. Great stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I have no idea what any other club does so couldn't comment about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some people don't understand what the trust actually do and therefore don't like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff Do you know if the club has much involvement with local schools? Be great if they could send a regular group of players around schools in South Bristol to meet and greet the future fans.

Red Skin Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 The Community Trust led by Amy Kington are doing fantastic work. Its a million pound charity run on an entirely separate financial footing from the rest of the club. I have had some dealings with the trust on a personal level with Amy and we are very lucky to have such a capable and dedicated woman heading up such a valuable facet of BCFC supported by a team of enthuastic and personable young adults representating our club in the community in developing training. Great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work. Have just finished studying there for the last two years where every single student is achieving above their target grades some by 4 or 5 levels. A very well run organisation thanks to Amy and her staff. The trust do the club proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusader Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 For me the project work they do is very good however they are not high profile enough. Soccer schools like Swindons should have 120-150 kids not 15-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the biggest education programme run by a football community trust in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Dicks' Barmy Army Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Was odd with Amy Kington leaving the comm trust a few weeks back and no announcement anywhere - also with no online messages etc Then today out of nowhere she is online starting her new business (which looks good) and all of a sudden everyone connected with Bristol Sport are "tweeting" her to wish her good luck All very odd ???

Not really. Someone leaves a job without any undue fuss, they then start a new job/role and former colleagues and friends wish them good luck. Sounds fairly standard.

Would have to disagree with you on this For someone who did such great things for the community trust to not get a mention anywhere about her leaving was very strange and poor And at the time for not one of her Bristol Sport colleagues to send her any "good luck" etc messages was odd - just even weirder that with her new project so many are crawling all over her twitter account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
