Motherwell Football Club Community Trust uses the power of football and the brand name of Motherwell Football Club to motivate and inspire people and communities to change their lives for the better.

The Trust operates across Lanarkshire and works with people and communities of all ages living within areas of multiple deprivation or those affected by issues such as poor physical and mental health, unemployment, poor attainment, low engagement with physical activity and community safety.

With the support of Cash for Kids, the club continues to grow and reach more and more children every season. Children are able to go along without fear of stigma, as paid for children and those with free places are mixed. Every child is offered a free, nutritious meal to keep energy levels up and ensure they are being fed where there free school meals are not available.

Having visited the club and spoken to children and parents, we have seen the real difference it makes in the community.
