Aberdeen FC is proud to be a thriving, community driven football club who aim to have a positive impact far beyond the 90 minutes on the pitch working alongside our partner charity, AFC Community Trust. We recognise our unique standing in the local community and appreciate the importance of giving something back as we actively engage with the local communities that support and sustain the club and AFC Community Trust. Here is a small taster of the recent activity that various representatives of the football club and AFC Community Trust have undertaken this past while in our efforts to interact with our local community.
