Social care and Cohesion

Social care and Cohesion

Sport teaches us solidarity, team working and the understanding that we should not leave any of our comrades behind. This of course is also applicable to society.

The respect, comradeship, fairness and justice which we learn to value in sport are incompatible with discrimination or disparagement of others for being different.

Off the playing field our team is our family, work or school mates, neighbours, our countrymen and the whole of humanity. That is the team we always play for, even when we are doing sport.

Thus cohesion programmes for immigrants such as the “ Tots Colors” (All Colours) sports tournament are designed to combat attitudes and actions which are reticent about or openly opposed to cultural and ethnic diversity.

In addition initiatives such as “ Un somni per un regal” (A dream as a gift) enable sportspeople from the various FCB sections and club members to give their support for children who are ill or socially marginalised by donating toys and handing them out in hospitals.
