Chorley FC Community Foundation was created to make a real difference in the lives of local people through the power of football. Founded in 2019, the Foundation builds on the proud history and community spirit of Chorley FC, using the club’s name and reach to bring people together and create positive change across the borough.

We’re not just about football – we’re about people. Our projects support everyone from children taking their first kick of a ball, to adults looking for new ways to stay active or connect with others. Whether it’s helping young people build confidence, supporting veterans to find friendship, or offering older residents a reason to get out of the house, everything we do is about creating a stronger, healthier, and more connected Chorley.

At the heart of our Foundation is a simple belief: football has the power to change lives. By working with local schools, community groups, and partners, we aim to make sure everyone, whatever their age, background, or ability has the chance to belong, grow, and thrive.
