The new organisation will focus on delivering a wide range of community programs designed to inspire personal development, foster inclusivity, and improve health and well-being across the region.

By offering accessible football programs, education, and outreach activities, the trust will empower local residents and strengthen ties within the community.

“We are incredibly excited to launch this initiative and expand the positive impact of Farsley Celtic beyond the football pitch,” said the Board of directors of Farsley Celtic.

“The Football in the Community Trust will be a catalyst for change, offering people of all ages the opportunity to engage in football, develop new skills, and be part of a thriving and supportive community. Our aim is to inspire and unite people through sport while creating lasting opportunities for personal growth and well-being.”

The trust will offer a variety of programs, including youth development sessions, women’s and girls’ football initiatives, disability football, as well as health and fitness activities aimed at improving physical and mental well-being. It will also focus on creating accessible pathways for participants to transition from grassroots football to higher levels of play, while promoting teamwork, respect, and social inclusion at every stage.

“We want to create an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of their background or ability, can benefit from football and feel like a valued part of our community,” the board added.

“Through this organisation, we are making a commitment to invest in our community and support its growth for years to come.”

The Football in the Community arm of Farsley Celtic will launch with several programs and activities in the coming months. For more information on how to get involved or support the initiative, please follow our social media channels or e-mail us at office@farsleyceltic.com.
