Every Youth Football Club who are affiliated to the Berks & Bucks FA now have a fully qualified Welfare Officer attached to them. If you don't know who yours is, please ask your Club Secretary.
In addition, Berks & Bucks FA have ensured that all affiliated Youth Leagues also have a League Welfare Officer who can offer help and guidance.
If you require more information on the role and responsibilities of your Welfare Officer, contact David Lewis at the County Office or e-mail him at david.lewis@berks-bucksfa.com
