Southport FC understands the importance of a proactive approach in respect to it’s local community. Our aim is to contribute to the lives of many via a range of diverse activities that enhance Southport Football Club as being viewed as a Community Hub.

The club has a number of community partners to help us engage with large sections of the local population in sports and other recreations, healthcare, charities, local business networking and education.

Our Community Programme in association with The Football Conference Community Foundation is funded by The Premier League and the PFA. Southport FC would like to put on record the deep appreciation we have for the support via Richard Scudamore at the Premier League and the Professional Footballers Association.

All funding is match funded so the Club is always looking for Community sponsors.
