Our Impact

Making an Impact

The impact that Clubs and Club Community Organisations have in the community is significant and unparalleled. We are in a unique position to use the power of the football club’s badge to reach groups that many others fail to reach.

We look to where we believe we can make the most impact in Kirklees. At Huddersfield Town Foundation all of our programmes and projects aim to tackle at least one of our four key impact areas.

These are all linked and our projects do not sit within one alone. Instead we aim to create programmes that make a positive impact across all four, recognising how one can lead to another and that they are all connected.

Together with our mission and vision, these areas of impact shape our strategic objectives.
