Community | PFA Core Fund

Hartlepool United Community Sports Foundation are proud to be working with the Premier League and PFA Community Fund

 

The Premier League and PFA Community Fund, sometimes referred to as the ‘Core Fund,’ is a partnership between the Premier League and the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) that provides essential behind-the-scenes infrastructure support and funding to Football Club Community Organisations (CCOs).

Administered by the Premier League Charitable Fund, this fund helps CCOs deliver projects that respond to local needs, such as improving mental and physical health, promoting inclusion (like LGBTQ+ inclusion), supporting education and employability, and tackling social isolation.

The funding of £10,000 also enables HUCSF to be more sustainable and secure additional funding from other sources, all while leveraging the power of football to create positive social impact.

It strengthens Equality Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) practices which mean that the HUCSF can deliver programmes that better reflect and serve diverse communities in Hartlepool and the local area.

Hartlepool United players act as role models, particularly for young people, inspiring community pride, civic engagement and active lifestyles, while also supporting causes and promoting inclusion for marginalised groups.
