MFC Foundation joins EFDN
We are proud to announce that MFC Foundation has joined EFDN. Our new member is mainly interested in funding and networking opportunities which will enhance the work of one of the very first football club charities, having originally been set up in 1995 as Middlesbrough FC in the Community by MFC Chairman Steve Gibson.
Becoming a charity in 1996, Mr. Gibson’s vision was to use the power of the Football Club badge to engage young people from the local community in activities at The Riverside Stadium. In 2012, it was relaunched as MFC Foundation. Thanks to continued support on a local and national level, the Foundation operates over 40 programmes and in 2019 the annual turnover broke through the £2m mark for the first time in their history.
The vision of MFC Foundation is Inspire Confidence Inspire Hope. Led by it, the Foundation follows the mission of delivering bespoke programmes providing opportunities to raise aspirations and improve the life chances of people across local communities by using the power and influence of Middlesbrough Football Club. MFC Foundation staff are looking forward to sharing their work, taking part in discussions and providing feedback. Read more about their mission here.
