A partnership between Wexford County Council (WCC) and Wexford FC will see the first division club deliver programmes centred on health, wellbeing, and social inclusion in the community. This service level agreement (SLA) will see WCC provide funding for a Football & Social Responsibility (FSR) Officer who will be tasked with developing programmes designed to make Wexford FC “more than a club”.
The programmes will include core and optional programmes which will be based on identified local needs, such as walking football, a football memories meeting group to combat social isolation and promote well-being, and a men’s/women’s shed social club delivering health and wellbeing programmes and offering volunteering opportunities to provide people with a sense of purpose.
