With Giving Tuesday approaching on December 2, here’s a bit of a background to it and how your donations can help Northampton Town FC Community Trust.
What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving to encourage people to support the causes that mean the most to them. Running since 2012, this is your chance to join millions around the world who are donating time or money to good causes.
Here at NTFC Community Trust, we’re passionate about the power of football creating lasting, positive change. Through sport, education, health, and inclusion programmes, we support people of all ages and backgrounds — encouraging participation, building skills, improving wellbeing, and promoting equity, diversity, and belonging. Proudly rooted in the values of the club, we continue to grow our reach and impact across Northamptonshire — changing lives and strengthening communities, one person at a time.
This Giving Tuesday, we’re looking for Cobblers fans and supporters to show that they are #proudtogive as well as #proudtobe – you can donate to NTFC Community Trust here and share how you are supporting us online by using the hastags #proudtogive and #GivingTuesday
Why Giving Tuesday?
When it was launched in 2012, Giving Tuesday was used as a way to shift the focus from consumerism to generosity (as it takes place the Tuesday following Black Friday), giving people an annual day to give back to their communities and support their favourite charitable causes.
In the last few years, tens of millions of pounds have been raised for UK charities alone!
Why NTFC Community Trust?
As we enter our 25th anniversary year in 2026 and launch our brand-new four-year strategy, we are looking to support more people across Northamptonshire than ever before.
As a registered charity, we use the power of football to create lasting, positive change. Through sport, education, health, and inclusion programmes, we support people of all ages and backgrounds — encouraging participation, building skills, improving wellbeing, and promoting equity, diversity, and belonging.
To do this, we need financial and volunteer support and Giving Tuesday is a great chance for us to make new connections!
What issues are we tackling?
Across our communities, people are facing complex and persistent challenges, from rising inequalities and youth violence to declining mental health and social isolation. Through our programmes in health and wellbeing, employability and schools and inclusion, participation and disability, we aim to tackle these challenges and improve people’s lives.
Where could my money go?
The money that you donate this Giving Tuesday could go towards a number of different projects. For example:
A £5 donation could help to pay for equipment, food and kit for some of our participants.
A £10 donation could help to fund a place for a participant in some of our weekly programmes.
A £15 donation could help to fund a place in our 3v3 women’s and girls’ sessions.
A £20 donation could help to fund a participant for one month in our community programmes.
How can I donate?
Your donations really could make a big difference to the people of Northamptonshire. This could mean helping a young person with their education, helping people to find a job or playing football and building community in a safe environment every week.
