## Resource

Clare is joined by Tom and Tino from The Fàilte Network, a newly established charity using Celtic FC as a vehicle to welcome refugees and asylum seekers into the club, the community and the match day experience. The discussion explores the origins of the project and how football can be a powerful tool for connection, solidarity and belonging. Topics include: • The story behind The Fàilte Network and why it was created • How Celtic matchdays can provide respite from the challenges facing refugees and asylum seekers • The parallels between Irish immigration and modern migration • Why grassroots solidarity remains important within the Celtic support • Challenging misconceptions around refugees and asylum seekers • The role football can play in integration and community building • Experiences of bringing young refugees to Celtic Park • The support received from fan groups including the Green Brigade and North Curve • What a typical Fàilte Network matchday looks like • How supporters can get involved and help the charity grow You can get access to the network via this link – https://linktr.ee/failtenetwork
