Grimsby Town Foundation

Grimsby Town Foundation traces its roots back to 1986 when it was originally established as “Grimsby Town Football in the Community.” Its primary mission was to foster a strong connection between the football club and the local community, particularly by engaging with young people, using the strength of the club badge. In 2008, the organisation achieved registered charity status, marking a significant milestone in its journey. Grimsby Town Foundation is dedicated to four core areas of focus: Sports Participation, Health, Education, and Sports Inclusion. It’s important to note that while these four pillars form the foundation of our work, they are by no means the sole areas of our engagement. Our programs are in a constant state of evolution, driven by the ambition to become a well-established, forward-thinking, and self-sustaining initiative that extends its reach throughout the communities in North-East Lincolnshire and Lincolnshire. Our impact is felt across diverse locations, as we provide specialised Primary School programs that complement the work of our partner schools. Additionally, we deliver the Premier League Kicks program in the community, alongside various other community-focused initiatives such as our Winter Warm Space and Winter Coat projects. With our recent rebranding to “Grimsby Town Foundation,” we now better embody our current role within the community. Our projects are at the very heart of the community, aligning seamlessly with the football club’s “greater together” approach. Our values, strategy, and vision are dedicated to further enhancing our community engagement, working in collaboration with partner agencies, and using the club’s emblem as a unifying symbol for projects deeply rooted in the community.
