STAND OUT from the crowd by volunteering!
Community Champions is a Fulham FC Foundation initiative which aims to increase the number of young people involved in sports based volunteering within the local community.
The Community Champions programme launched in April 2008 and to date has engaged 300 active volunteers between the ages of 14 to 25 years, each volunteering for a minimum of 8 hours.
