Do you need to talk?

If you’re a worried child and need to talk to someone, then Ellie, our club welfare officer,  is ready to listen to your worries. She can usually be found at training on a Tuesday night or you can contact her via email: welfareafcwandsworth@gmail.com or ellie@afcwandsworth.co.uk.

It’s great having Ellie as our Club Welfare Officer as she’s here to help keep all our fantastic footballers safe and sound, so if you’re feeling sad about something then please talk to her.

If you don’t feel you can speak to Ellie directly, then perhaps you can tell an adult that you trust or a friend and they can talk to Ellie for you? Or, maybe you could talk to someone you can trust who doesn’t know you? You can contact the FA at safeguarding@londonfa.com or Mobile: 07938 489199 (Available Monday to Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm). Did you know you can also ring the National Childline FREE and they have lots of people ready and willing to listen to children’s problems.

Their main number is 0800 1111 but they even have a special football hotline which is  0808 800 5000.

So don’t feel down – share your troubles!
