Girls Taster Day: Study with us!
Cardiff City FC Community Foundation is excited to announce a new partnership with Compass Hospitality aimed at enriching the lives of young people through a series of engaging and educational experiences.
The collaboration kicked off with a Premier League Kicks Experience over Easter at Cardiff City Stadium, where a selected group of male and female participants from our Kicks programme engaged in a hands-on culinary session.
Led by professional chefs, this session focussed on budgeting and cooking simple, sustainable meals that the young people can recreate at home. Participants also linked with chefs in the kitchen for a live cook-along session, followed by a shared meal to enjoy their creations.
We want to help people develop game changing life skills that will set them up for success.
This was followed by a friendly fixture against the Swansea City FC Community Foundation Kicks team and the exciting opportunity to watch the Cardiff City Women’s first team in action.
Compass Hospitality is generously contributing their time and expertise, with the Community Foundation only needing to cover the cost of ingredients. This marks the beginning of a series of insightful experiences designed to develop our youth outreach work and provide pathways into education, training, and employment.
With the support of the Premier League Charitable Fund, we plan to organise educational trips focused on social action and sustainability, along with training sessions to equip young people with essential skills for the hospitality industry and beyond.
The Community Foundation and Compass Hospitality are committed to creating impactful experiences that support our young people’s growth and development. We look forward to a successful partnership and the positive results it will bring to Cardiff City FC Communities.
We believe in the power of connection, and we're committed to creating opportunities for everyone to belong.
