ESTABLISHED 2025
Bangor Rovers FC was formed by our founder as a charity team in June 2025 - through some collegues from work they formed a team for a one match charity game.
After feedback from the team - our founder wanted to form a club to help people who struggled with mental health and social aniexty and who felt they wouldnt fit into a convential set up.
A committee and consitution was formed, and recruitment began - officially set up as a club in September 2025 - the founding members / players of this new club played their first game in October 2025.
Our Core Values
Mental Health Matters - We recognise that every player. coach, volunteer and supporter has their own journey. We foster an environment where mental health is openly discussed, respected and supported. We work to reduce stigma, promote well being and encourage open conversations without fear or judgement.
Inclusion For All - Our club is open to everyone - regardless of background, ability or experience. We understand that social anxiety and other challenges can make joining a team feel daunting, so we go the extra mile to make each person feel welcome, valued and understood.
Connection Through Football - The club believes football brings people together. We use the sport to build friendships, confidence and community. We celebrate small steps - showing up, joining in and feeling part of something positive.
Supportive Environment - Our club is a safe space. Coaches and team leaders are trained to be understanding, patient and approachable. Whether your on the pitch or watching from the sidelines, you'll be met with encouragement, empathy and respect, of which we would also expect in return.
Growth And Empowerment - We believe personal development is just as important as athletic achievement. Through football, we empower members to grow in confidence, manage challenges and find the joy in progress - however small.
