Jeanfield Swifts Community FC (SCIO)

Jeanfield Swifts Community FC (Scio) is set up to encourage public participation in sport (football) and associated healthy activities to improve the physical, mental and social wellbeing of participants. It achieves this by registering teams with the Scottish Football Association and affiliated national associations (SYFA, SWF, WFS) to enable participation in grassroots youth, girls and women's leagues. It also organises programmes for older women (Walking Football) and asylum seekers (Welcome League). In bringing these disparate groups together it seeks to foster greater social cohesion and build a community.
