Sponsored by the Football Foundation, Andrew Fuller Marathon Appeal (AFMA) and the John Lyons Charity, the BFC CST Disability Project provides opportunities for young people with a disability to participate in sport, primarily football, across the boroughs of Hounslow, Ealing, Richmond and Spelthorne. The AFMA is a trust established in memory of local schoolteacher Andrew Fuller.
It is aimed BFC CST runs 3 Saturday Clubs training weekly and competing against other local disability teams. Elthorne and Shene Saturday Clubs play friendly matches together whilst the Feltham Bees represent Brentford FC against other disability clubs across the South East region.
We also run 3 weekly sessions alongside the Bridge Trust, specifically for children who have difficulties with social and communication skills.
There are 3 sessions taking place in 2 local colleges and the students compete in the Greater London FE College Supported Learning League. The launch in 2007 was at Chelsea FC's Cobham Training Ground, with medals presented by Sir Trevor Brooking.
The Feltham Bees are the official disability football club of Brentford FC. We provide qualified coaches and support for tournaments and other events they hold.

Great Britian Athlete Jumps in to Disabiity Family Funday!
On Saturday August 11th Great Britain's Long Jump Number 1 & Record Holder, Jade Johnson, visited the first BFC CST Disability Family Funday along with both young people, who take part in our programmes, and their parents or carers.
Jade took part in Boccia matches where she was coached by Community Coach Liz Foster. Jade did however turn down the opportunity to take part in a football match with the Feltham Bees due to injury, plus no doubt having heard of the Bee's reputation as being one of the best teams around!
