Testimonials

"They are community driven and the bond is actually amazing. Every week we train twice a week, two hours every day, which is amazing. So the consistency is there, that's why it's different."

"Burnhill sets a standard that only the best anti-racist community organisations achieve."​

​

"I've never done training like this before, but it’s alright because even if I get it wrong they teach me it again. They take care of us here. Everyone here is just brilliant."

"I was 18 when I joined Burnhill. It is a big part of who I have grown to be. I get a scholarship in exchange for committing to training. Without this, I would only be able to play a kickabout in the park.​"​​

"There's been a few players here that three years ago when they joined this team, they were(...) just a single individual in Glasgow, don't know anything and now they are part of the community. You see them going out with friends and developing relationships and getting better at football, which is really, really good to see."

​"Before I came to Burnhill I was an alcoholic and I went to rehab. When I look at life now, it is better than what I had six months before I joined Burnhill. Getting out the house, getting fit, meeting mates that I'd never thought I'd meet, it's helped me see what I want for myself. I feel better about the future.  I feel like I can get a job because I don't want to be on benefits, I want to work"

"Everyone is welcome, but for those of us who have dreams of playing professional that is something they help us with here. We've had guys go to play juniors and it has really pushed me to get disciplined with my training."

"I think it just kind of teaches you how to get on with a diverse range of people. Obviously cuts down barriers between the different nationalities and also helps, you know, just among ourselves to cut racism out and really helps everybody else that's from different countries and communities to kind of settle into Scotland essentially."
