WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

Who We Are
Darlington Football Club Foundation is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of people across Darlington and the surrounding areas. Through sport, education, and community engagement, we aim to promote healthier lifestyles and stronger communities.

We believe that everyone deserves access to opportunities that support their health and wellbeing.

​

Our Work Focuses On:

• Education for all ages – Encouraging learning and personal development to help people live healthier, more active lives.

• Access to sport and recreation – Improving local facilities and offering inclusive programs that make it easier for everyone - especially underserved communities - to get involved in sport and physical activity.

• Community-focused support – Creating initiatives and partnerships that respond to local needs and promote long-term, positive change.

As a registered charity, we also support other local causes that align with our mission, as determined by our trustees.

​

Our Ongoing Work:
The Foundation works throughout Darlington and the surrounding regions, bringing physical activity - especially football - to all. We work with schools, mental health projects, refugees, and run Holiday Clubs. We also oversee the Darlington FC Matchday Experience and Mascots, and collaborate with local organisations to deliver community projects that align with the Foundation’s goals.
