"AFC Wimbledon Foundation’s mission is to help our community pursue their dreams by improving their skills, resilience, wellbeing and confidence.
We do this by
Inspiring active lifestyles in local children
Improving the lives of older people
Championing sustainable sports participation for women and girls
Our core projects focus on alleviating isolation, preventing social exclusion, increasing employment opportunities, improving mental & physical health, strengthening aspirations, and creating a greater sense of community cohesion.
The majority of our outreach work uses the power of sport and exercise to achieve these goals, however we also team up with local partners to provide education, employability, and health focused outreach work in the boroughs of Merton, Wandsworth & Kingston
We currently engage 2,500 local people in sport, social, and exercise activities each week. To meet the ever-growing needs of our community we must reach, engage and inspire 1,000 more local people a week by the end of 2024, with a real focus on engaging those living in the most disadvantaged parts of our community."
