Armed Forces Support

We offer opportunities for one-to-one support with our Support Officer. Breakfast cafe's and weekly football sessions are also arranged to have the chance to socialise with fellow Veteran's.

Champions Project

Champions is an innovative programme supporting young people, aged 10-25, with experience of or at risk of offending behaviours. The programme is confidential and non-judgemental.

Development Centre

Every Monday, Tuesday and Saturday the Foundation hosts multiple football development sessions suitable for ages 2-16 and for both boys and girls. It doesn't affect any grassroot clubs.

Extra Time

A two hour session at Hope Church in Lytham St Anne's every Tuesday for over 55s to attend. They have the choice to go for a 'walk and talk' and then come back for a brew and an activity for the final hour.

Fans of the Future

Ran alongside the club, on a home Saturday matchday, we invite a group of children and their parents down to receive a unique experience at Mill Farm.

Fit Fylde

Fit Fylde is a health and wellbeing session aiming to improve both participants' physical and mental health. We have three cohorts taking place on Mondays, Wednesday and Thursday.

Football Welcomes

Home to our 2024 Community Captain, Mohamed Hashim. Football Welcomes is a project designed to bring Refugees and Asylum seekers together to meet new people and get to know the local area.

Kirkham Companions

Kirkham Community Centre is where we invite people over the age of 55 to attend a two hour long session where they can socialise with other people and take part in activities.

School Holiday Camps

Every school half-term or end of term the Foundation has a Soccer School at Fylde Sports and Education Centre, an Activity Camp in Kirkham and an Activity Camp in Warton.

Youth Provision

A new project called 'Kirkham Kicks' has just been set up at Kirkham Memorial Park for ages 8-16. It's a light paced football session and a chance to socialise with all abilities welcome.
