6 years ago, back in March 2014, Aberdeen FC Community Trust was established as the partner charity of Aberdeen FC to provide support and opportunity throughout the North-East of Scotland.
Since then, working across the three key pillars of education, healthy communities and football for life, the Trust’s work has helped to improve the lives of thousands of people across Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire each year. The Trust has done this by recognising the importance of increasing physical activity when tackling issues such as poverty, inequality and wellbeing.
From award winning work tackling dementia to pioneering activity in schools to close the poverty related attainment gap, the Trust’s work reaches far and wide and looks to support all age groups, from as young as 3 to 103!
As an independent charity, the Trust relies on donations to enable all the life changing programmes to be carried out. For every £10 donated to the Trust, £100 of societal benefit is generated through the programmes and activities delivered across the North-East.
In support of and to celebrate Aberdeen FC Community Trust work, supporters will be given the opportunity to donate to the Trust during Saturday’s match against Ross County.
