【#CityAsOne】カーディフ・シティＦＣが目指す地域の未来

Footage 0:00〜1:01

 
  Sometimes, all it takes is a moment. An encouraging word. A look that says: “You can do this”, “I’ve got your back” to shape someone for life. At Cardiff City FC Community Foundation, we’re levelling the playing field. Not just in football, for all of us, across our mighty city. That’s why we are passionate about supporting young people as they make their way in the world. We’re playing the long game. Championing learning, supporting healthier lives, helping every child to know their worth. So that when they face life’s knocks, they can get up, brush themselves off, and keep pushing for their dreams.
