FC United of Manchester is a community football club owned and democratically run by its 2,500+ members. A £4.5m stadium and community facility is planned for Moston, North Manchester and the club has raised over £1.7m from the sale of Community Shares.The club reinvests surplus money into its primary purpose as a community benefit society, enabling it to better develop work with a range of communities in and around Moston and Manchester as well as club members/co-owners. Using sport as a gateway, the Board believe that it will lead to ongoing personal and collective development in education, volunteering and physical activity, helping to underpin community cohesion in the area. This will provide a sustainable, community focused approach for the future of the club and the area.
