    Wow, what a day - and what an incredible turnout! 🧡We’ll be sharing a full update next week, but for now, here are a few photos from a truly special community event.Our aim, as always, was to bring people together through football, celebrate Refugee Week, and create opportunities for connection, inclusion and friendship. Seeing so many people come together from across the North East and beyond, it’s safe to say the day achieved exactly that.We welcomed teams from Teesside, County Durham, Tyneside, Northumberland and even Cumbria, alongside hundreds of players, volunteers, supporters and spectators. People of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities came together to share in a day of football, community and celebration, creating an atmosphere that perfectly reflected the spirit of Refugee Week. 🙌A huge thank you to everyone who took part, volunteered, cheered from the sidelines, helped organise and facilitate the event, and to Goals for hosting. 👏While it’s difficult to know the exact number of attendees, we estimate that between 300 and 400 people joined us across the day!What a wonderful way to mark and celebrate Refugee Week 2026. Together, we showed that football has the power to break down barriers, bring people together, and strengthen communities. ⚽🧡 ... See MoreSee Less
