What the charity exists to do
We use the power of football and the brand name of Motherwell Football Club to make a positive impact on the lives of people in our community. A recent UEFA report carried out by academics showed a Social Return on Investment of £13.64m per annum. Our activities include 29 grassroots football teams all run by volunteers, these range from walking football, disability teams, boys' teams and girls' teams. We also deliver a range of health programmes and have recently opened a dedicated mental health hub.
