FGS in the community

At FGS success is measured by what is achieved, for people, for businesses, and for communities. That’s why as part of our commitment to a Feel Good Solution® we support community sports organisations across our network of pan-European locations. From grass roots cricket in the UK, to water polo in Malta. We’re doing our bit to help young people supercharge their potential through sport and play.

We are proud to sponsor two youth sports teams that we have close connections with; South Weald Cricket team in Essex, UK and the San Giljan Water polo team based in St. Julians, Malta. From the skills learned playing as part of a team to regular physical activity, we believe sport contributes significantly to the overall development of individuals and greatly improves their mental health. We want to make sure the local communities can afford to play sports and buy necessary equipment to be part of it.

As part of setting up in Gibraltar we have now started supporting the Special Needs Action Group (SNAG). The message is clear, and everyone should have the same rights and opportunities, no matter of their disabilities. SNAG are constantly encouraging positive changes, being their voice and challenging ‘the system’ to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all.

We are looking forward to our continued partnership with them and are proud to be supporting them.

Year 6 Trip Support

Our most recent project has been to provide support for the annual 5-day Isle of Wight excursion for Year 6 students from Buttsbury Junior School. This enriching trip offers a remarkable experience, but unfortunately, its cost can be prohibitive for certain families. Consequently, some children are unable to participate, which creates feelings of exclusion when they see their peers embarking on the adventure. Recognising the potential impact of this exclusion, the FGS team collectively decided to take action. Over the past several years, we have covered the expenses for all the children who couldn’t afford to join the trip, aiming to make a tangible difference in the lives of these young individuals.

School Project

During the Covid lockdown, the students at Buttsbury Junior School needed devices to enable them to continue with their education from home. Unfortunately, certain students lacked access to personal computers, laptops, and other essential devices, placing them at a disadvantage solely because of economic circumstances in their households. Sensing the gravity of the situation, we approached the school Head Teacher and enquired about the number of students facing this predicament. Subsequently, we took it upon ourselves to provide each of these students with a brand-new laptop accompanied by three years of support. According to the feedback we received, this initiative has resulted in tangible benefits, not only in terms of enhancing the educational experience for these children but also by helping to alleviate the stress on their families.
