  • Come and join a fun, inclusive and competitive amateur football team in Glasgow!

     

    Burnhill FC CIC is a community-run, community funded, grassroots football club that is inclusive by design. Established in 2020, to meet urgent community need for accessible competitive football, we have grown to over 100 active players participating over 500 times a month, across 22 sessions. This only happens because of the continued support of people like you!

    Our players range in age from 18–49, 72% of our players are from global majority ethnicities, and the majority are in precarious financial circumstances (73% of our players can't cover their full costs. 45% can't contribute at all.)

    We currently receive no Government, council, or charity funding, instead working on a model built on community contribution with support coming via members, donors, and sponsors.

    We’re also always looking to grow our volunteer coaching team. No formal qualifications are required, what matters most is enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and a genuine passion for football and for supporting people in a positive, inclusive environment.

    Coaching here is about showing up, building relationships, helping players develop confidence on and off the pitch, and being part of a community that values dignity, respect, and enjoyment of the game. Full support is provided, and anyone keen to get involved will be guided into the role and helped to develop their coaching skills over time.

    Come and meet a growing demand and help us continue proactively providing opportunities to marginalised and minoritised players, growing a community of inclusion, dignity, and positivity!
