Hartlepool United Community Sports Foundation was set up in 2008 and since then our links with Hartlepool United Football Club mean that we have become central within the community. The Charitys objectives are:

To promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for the playing of association football and other sports capable of improving health

To provide and assist in providing facilities for sport, recreation or other leisure time occupations of such persons who have need for such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life; and

To advance the education of children and young people through such means as the trustees fit in accordance with the law of charity.

We are a vibrant and active community project that aims to sport grassroots football development and nurture the passion of the people of Hartlepool for football and their local club.
