“To provide support and opportunity to change lives for the better”

The above simple Vision resulted in the creation of Aberdeen FC Community Trust (AFCCT). Since our confirmation as Registered Charity No. SC044720 in 2014, everyone involved with AFCCT has worked towards this vision with the clear desire to benefit a wide range of community groups based within the North East of Scotland, and beyond.

As Aberdeen Football Club’s partner charity, AFCCT is now firmly established as an identifiable community asset and works alongside a broad range of partners from the private, public and 3rd sectors. Approximately 70,000 participations per year now take place across a very broad range of targeted and inclusive community initiatives. Some of the specific programmes which now exist provide direct support to: Over 65s; disadvantaged children; ethnic & religious minority groups; and people living with dementia. This non-exhaustive list encompasses participant age ranges from 3 to 93+ years old.

AFCCT fulfils its registered charitable objectives across 5 strands of activity, many of which overlap, providing multiple benefits to participants. All AFC Community Trust staff and volunteers are fully committed to ‘doing the right thing’ and are dedicated to supporting North East communities. Almost all activities are undertaken in close partnership with others, and those cooperative working relationships are seen as a vital ingredient in effectively supporting our local communities. Thank you to everyone who has supported AFCCT so far, and I encourage those reading this brochure to do what they can to help AFCCT “…change lives for the better”
