MFC Foundation’s mission is simple, by harnessing the passion and power of the Football Club brand, we work to inspire hope and confidence, and improve the life chances of young people and adults across Teesside.

We work in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Teesside, engaging with those who are hard to reach through the delivery of inspiring sport, education, health and inclusion projects.

MFC Foundation always aim to provide a high quality of service across all areas of their work, from creating a professional culture throughout the organisation to delivering projects which make a real difference to local communities.

We have engaged with 35,000 people over the past year across 27 different projects that are uniquely designed to engage those that are the hardest to reach and meet local and individual needs.

Project development is based on local insight and evidence provided by a range of strategic partners. The focus of these projects is the quality, rather than quantity and although MFC Foundation engages high numbers across all projects, it is the quality of the delivery and the impact it makes which we believe is essential to improving lives.

The charity is now in its 22nd year and is run by a board of ten experienced Trustees from across different industries, with representation from the football club and external organisations.

Though affiliated to the football club through the use of the badge and shared resources, the charity stands alone as a completely separate entity. The link to the football club however, is key to providing a unique offer to the local people of Teesside.
