Fulham FC have set the standard for professional clubs in harnessing the power of sport to deliver positive social and educational programmes in the community. We deliver this work through Fulham FC Community Sports Trust (FFC CST), a registered charity.
“The Fulham FC Community Sports Trust is one of the largest and most progressive schemes in the country and one that I am truly proud of.
"I am fully supportive of all the work that the Trust undertakes because it focuses on social issues such as racial awareness, disability awareness and social inclusion and also promotes the importance of educational standards and healthy lifestyles.”
Mohamed Al Fayed, Chairman Fulham FC
Our goal is to
“Use sport to deliver inspirational, accessible and inclusive initiatives, promoting educational and social opportunities, improving the quality of life for disadvantaged young people to make a positive, real and lasting difference to the local community.”
We achieve this by
-
Using the power of sport to help young people stay healthy, achieve educationally and make a positive contribution to their communities. An example of this is our Healthy Living Echo Project.
-
Providing high quality sporting opportunities for young people in and outside of school time. We deliver National Curriculum PE in schools across London and Surrey.
-
Working in partnership to develop special programmes to provide opportunities for disadvantaged groups, to benefit from active participation. An example of this is our award winning disability programme.
Achievements
“It is fantastic to see the results of the team’s work with young people in our community. As well as the obvious benefits of participating in sport, particularly in those groups which traditionally are underrepresented, we are seeing meaningful impacts in areas of health, social cohesion, education and the positive contribution that young people are making in their local area”
Russell Findlay, Head of Community Fulham FC.
