Milton Keynes Athletic Football Club

Team sports bring communities together and allow children and parents alike to work towards the same goal. Milton Keynes Athletic Football Club is a grass roots team that focuses on developing the whole child, not just football skills. With an ethos of fun and smiles compulsory, the club develop children so they’re able to be disciplined, dedicated, independent and a team player.

Running a youth football club requires dedication and funds, and the grant allowed the club to do much needed grounds maintenance and buy key equipment to keep future operation costs down. It also meant a new U11 team could be added to the club and an U6 weekly football session is now available for local children to attend.

The children that participate in the new age groups are now getting regular physical activity which is fantastic not only from a health and wellbeing perspective, but also for mental health. The children and their families are now part of a community which can only grow from strength to strength. Looking to the future, the club will spend a lot less to operate, making it affordable for all families as they continue to grow.

Our mission is to continue to make a positive difference in the lives of those who live in our community. We do that by giving grants to the charities working on the ground, the charities that work hard to make change happen.  To see how you could help us to have an even greater impact in our community, take a look at our website.
