Colchester United’s Football In The Community programme provides high quality sporting provision for schools and groups around the town, strengthening the bond that the club has with its community. In September 2015 Colchester United Football in the Community was awarded charitable status, enabling us as an organisation to be supported by the Charities Commission and Football League Trust. This also ensures that all funding and income received is re-invested back into the improvement and development of the organisation.

The scheme provides high quality sports and education programmes to children, young people and adults from across the region. Currently delivering sport to over 5,500 participants a week through activities delivered in schools, and local venues whilst also offering a expansive holiday activity programme.

Working in the heart of your local community, you can rest assured that all activities will be delivered by highly qualified coaches with a wealth of experience in developing young people of all abilities.
