Among others, the cooperation with the local authorities through the Partnership Agreement between Randers FC and Randers Municipality contributes to the delivery of the wide range of programmes.
Randers FC is aware of its influential position in the society, which gives the opportunity to positively reach out to the community. For that reason, the club makes it one of their responsibilities to deliver diverse Community and Social Responsibility programmes, addressing different social issues.
