A group that brings together women from different cultures to learn English, share experiences, and play football has been recognised by the Hampshire Football Association as one of the best in the county.
Portsmouth City Council has received an ‘Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Heroes Award’ at the Hampshire FA Grassroots Football Awards 2024 for the football sessions they organise through its Cross-Cultural Women’s Group.
The Cross-Cultural Women’s Group offers a safe space for women who don’t speak English to connect with their local community, learn the language, and take part in activities like walking football, which is supported by Hampshire FA.
The award was jointly given to the Cross-Cultural Women’s Group and Rowshonara Reza, a community development officer with Portsmouth City Council’s Independence and Wellbeing team.
