Northampton Town Football Club has been a central part of life in

Northamptonshire since 1897 — a source of local pride, identity, and connection. The club inspires passion, brings people together, and plays a powerful role in uniting communities across the county.

That spirit of community has always been at the heart of the club’s values. Since 1994, the club has delivered community-focused work — and in 2001, Northampton Town FC Community Trust was established as the club’s official charity, with a mission to deepen and expand that impact.

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.

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.


“At Northampton Town FC the community is at the heart of everything we do. Football clubs have such an important role to play in society due to the impact that they can have with people, and here at the club we fully embrace that. The work that the Community Trust carry out is very powerful and we are proud that we work so closely with them as they deliver important programmes all across the community.”
