The Well Foundation Community Sports hub and Academy has successfully provided underserved children in the BME community with access to sports and activities they often lack.
For instance, by collaborating with youth football teams, the organisation has integrated children from diverse backgrounds, enabling them to enjoy sports in safe, professional settings.
The Well Foundation is proud to receive the prestigious King’s Award for Voluntary Service, announced annually on the King’s birthday, November 14th. This honour belongs to our dedicated volunteers, whose compassion, commitment, and tireless efforts have made a real difference in our community. This award, the highest recognition for volunteer groups in the UK, is equivalent to an MBE and awarded for life. We are deeply grateful for each volunteer’s role in achieving this milestone.

"I've been playing football with the Well Foundation for about 14 years, starting from the early mosque days. Friday matches have been a highlight for me and my friends, offering socialization, fitness, and keeping us out of trouble. It's a vital part of my life, providing stress relief and even winning trophies. The growing sports academy offers diverse activities, becoming an integral part of the community for multiple generations."
"Participating in a variety of sports events organized by the Well Foundation has transformed my lifestyle, fostering fitness and activity. The group events have provided a morale boost and motivated me to challenge myself, while also introducing me to new acquaintances, offering an all-encompassing positive experience."
"The Well Foundation is a standout charity, positively impacting the local community with diverse activities. Their dedicated volunteer team and partnership with Motherwell Community Trust have fostered my growth as a coach, delivering engaging and inclusive sessions. Participating in the Wednesday 7s and Friday league has not only benefited my well-being but also that of fellow players."
"My journey with the Well Foundation began years ago through the Friday 7s league. Transitioning to coaching the 11s team, I help out and lead as the squad's captain, contributing to both playing and mentoring roles. The Foundation's inclusive environment has allowed me to grow and make meaningful contributions."
"My son loves the Well Foundation football coaching sessions on Wednesday evenings. The patient and experienced coaches allow him to learn at his own pace, making it an incredible experience for him. Now, he eagerly anticipates "Football Wednesdays" and can't wait for each session. Highly recommended!"
"Coming onboard with the Well Foundation after Covid, my friend Abbas Sabri introduced me to the Friday night 7-a-side league. Attending meetings beyond football has expanded my view of the Foundation's mission. I appreciate and commend the dedicated volunteers. Engaging in various activities has fostered personal growth and strong friendships within the Well Foundation community."
