A day to remember at the Unity Cup
Thank You, Brentford!

Descendants children and their families were given the chance to attend the Unity Cup football matches at Brentford's GTech Community Stadium in May, thanks to Brentford's community staff.

 

30 tickets were made available across three exciting match days:

Jamaica vs Trinidad – Tuesday 27th May, 7:45pm

Ghana vs Nigeria – Wednesday 28th May, 7:45pm

Unity Cup Final – Saturday 31st May, 12:30pm

 

This was a unique opportunity for so many children and families who might 

not otherwise have had the chance to enjoy live international football in such 

an electric setting. The energy in the stadium was incredible, and the joy on

 the children's faces said it all.

 

One particularly funny moment came courtesy of a pair of 8-year-old twins who 

turned full-time pundits for the day, complete with in-depth match analysis and 

colourful commentary! Honestly, we think they gave the professionals a run for their 

money. It was a powerful reminder of how experiences like these can inspire young people in unexpected and wonderful ways.

 

It was also a pleasure meeting members of the Brentford team in person. Their dedication to supporting community groups, especially those

connected to Brentford, truly shone through. Special thanks to Marcella Phelan MBE (BFC Trustee - Children & Families) and Rhiannon (EDI Manager) for their efforts in making all of this happen.

We’ve received an outpouring of positive messages from families who 

attended, and we’ll be sharing a selection of those soon along with some beautiful photos from the day.
