This year, CF is proudly supporting the MFC Foundation, a charity that plays a vital role across Teesside by delivering life‑changing programmes in Education and Employability, Health and Wellbeing, and Social Inclusion. Their work helps thousands of local people every year—improving opportunities, building confidence, and strengthening our communities.

Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of colleagues, partners, friends and family, our Charity Football Match raised over £12,000 for the Foundation. In 2026, we want to go even bigger.

Our 2026 Goal: £10,000 Raised for the Community

We’ve set an ambitious fundraising target of £10,000 across several charity events throughout the year, including:

MFC Foundation’s 30‑Year Anniversary Celebration Events

Middlesbrough College 5-a-Side Tournament

MFC Foundation Golf Day

The hopeful return of the Charity Football Match

Every event brings people together, showcases the strength of our community, and raises essential funds for the Foundation’s programmes across Teesside.

Matched Funding – Your Impact Doubled

CF’s IRG have generously agreed to match fund everything raised, meaning every pound you donate will be doubled, directly increasing the support the Foundation can provide.

How Your Donation Helps

By donating today, you’ll be helping the MFC Foundation to:

Support young people in education, training, and employment

Promote healthier lifestyles and improve wellbeing

Break down barriers to inclusion for those most at risk of isolation

Your contribution—large or small—will have a real and lasting impact on people across the region.

Thank you for your support. Together, we can make 2026 our biggest fundraising year yet and help create positive change for the Teesside community.
