Values of the Club
The pillars of our club are built on a foundation of Solidarity & Equality. We are an equal opportunities organisation who stand against any form of discrimination. We believe diversity brings strength, and we will use this strength to continually push to embed positive societal values within our community.
Inspiration
There have been many clubs and organisations; at home and further afield, who have influenced our work at G.S.F.C. Organisations such as ‘United Glasgow’, ’Show Racism the Red Card’ and ‘St Pauli’ who fight for fairness and equality within our sport; and ‘Refuweegee’ and ’Nil by Mouth’ whose fight against social injustice transcends sport. Clubs such as ’St Pauli’ are living proof that social values and respect for others does not need to be compromised in order to complete at the highest level.
At G.S.F.C we understand that it can sometimes be hard to make time for the activities we enjoy and be actively engaged in social initiatives within the community at the same time. Organisations such as ourselves, and some of those listed above, show how we can combine being sociable with being socially mindful, and how together these two things can be used to create positive change. This will be our guiding principle.
Aims of the club
We are proud to have two mens 11’s teams competing in the Glasgow Community & Cooperative League; a league created to champion socially-minded clubs with a strong ethos towards ensuring a zero tolerance to discrimination.
We hope that both teams will continue to establish themselves within the GCCL, whilst creating as much positive social action in the community as possible.
Glasgow Saints are also proud to have established our first competitive women’s team in 2022, increasing opportunities for women all over Glasgow. Our aim now is to fully integrate the continually expanding squad into a league or leagues that will fully cater to their ambition and drive, and to highlight the disparity in everything from access to pricing structure for women within the game of football.
2023 will also see Glasgow Saints aim to deliver access to football to different age groups/experience levels, from youth to the elderly, including mixed game opportunities for those simply looking to keep active and have fun.
