Inclusive Bath To Launch New Season Ticket Scheme

The intiative allows fans to purchase season tickets that will be passed on to Bath Welcomes Refugees (BWR) to allow local refugee families to visit Twerton Park and engage with other members of the local community.

BWR are a local volunteer-led organisation who aim to help refugees settle into the city of Bath and surrounding areas.

Bath City FC Community Director Joy Saunders think football has a huge roll to play in bringing people with different backgrounds together.

"We hope this scheme will help promote community cohesion in our city," she told the club's website.

“Here at Bath City we know that football is a really powerful form of ‘social glue’, an international language which enables everyone, regardless of where they are from, to immediately be on the same side and support a common interest."

Continuing the theme of inclusion and diversity, the club have also announced that this weekend's National League South clash with Dorking Wanderers will be their nominated 'Anti-Racism Day'.

The day will see a number of special events including live music arranged by Bath Against Racism and players wearing Kick It Out shirts to warm-up.

“The overriding message of the day is one of solidarity with all anti-racism groups and zero-tolerance at Bath City of racism," the club's general manager Carole Banwell said.

"We will be celebrating BAME culture through food and music as well as through footballing achievements."
