The COVID-19 pandemic has caused huge disruption to all of our lives and businesses and that includes charities such as ourselves.
Aswell as grant funding that we receive from the National League Trust and other partners such as Trafford Housing Trust, we rely heavily on the income that is generated by our many community activities such as walking football, yoga, alty mini kickers to name but 3.
As you can imagine all of our activities ceased on the UK entering lockdown which led to the community team being placed on furlough and a very uncertain future.
To support us through this difficult time we were approached by Barclays in the form of club co chairman Lawrence Looney who very generously offered to match fund any funds we could raise through a campaign of fundraising by ourselves.
The activities are listed below and further details will follow on how to support us with our efforts to raise £5,000.
You can also find a link to donate to the scheme at the bottom of the page.

On Friday 8th November we held our annual National League Trust U11 Girls tournament.
We welcomed 10 schools to Timperley Sports Club for a morning of fantastic football competition.
The standard on show was the highest we have witnessed since starting the competitions. The players showed excellent attitudes throughout and played some fantastic football.
After some close games in the group stages the final was another close match between Stamford Park Junior School & Bowdon C of E.
A late winner from Bowdon C of E sealed the cup for them and gives them the opportunity to represent Altrincham FC at the National League Trust Regional Tournament after Christmas.
We are delighted to announce that we have been approved to deliver the Premier League Primary Stars programme for the 2019/20 & 2020/21 academic years.
This is a world class programme that enables our coaching team to support teachers with their PE delivery and ensure High Quality PE is delivered to their pupils.
A new aspect for the next two years will see us offering support to schools in the form of Reading stars, Maths support and PSHE which will further embed our support in Altrincham Schools.
Community Sports Manager Simon Dow commented “We are extremely excited to be delivering Tier 5 of Primary stars for the next two years . The coaching team love delivering this programme and feel it not only enhances the teachers and children’s experiences but also their own delivery through the support we receive from the FA PE Unit & Premier League.”
If your school would like to be involved with the programme please email simon@altrinchamfootballclub.co.uk
Our 2018/19 Gold D of E cohort have departed from the J.Davidson stadium this afternoon on their expedition to the Yorkshire Dales.
Despite the poor weather, all were in good spirits and excited about the challenges that lay ahead over the next few days.
As you are aware we have been able to freeze our class prices for 3 years , however, with increasing costs, we are having to adjust the class costs across the timetable by a minimal amount of £1 per session.
With effect from 1st September:
Senior Exercise £6
Walking Football £4
Yoga - Pregnancy & Intermediate £7
Yoga - Gentle / Relaxation £6
If you have any questions regarding this please do not hesitate to contact us by email community@altrinchamfootballclub.co.uk
We had the pleasure of welcoming over 200 children from 13 different Altrincham primary schools to the J.Davidson stadium on Monday 13th May for our annual U9 Boys & U9 Girls national league football tournament.
15 rounds of group matches were played before the semi finals took place, the standard throughout the group games was exceptional, with the children showing confidence on the ball and excellent game awareness.
The semi finals were another close round of games with the eventual winners going through to the finals.
For the boys it was Bowdon Church school v St Vincent’s with St Vincent’s the eventual winners in a tense final.
The girls final was between Oldfield Brow & Bowdon Church school. This brilliant game went to penalties when the teams couldn’t be separated even after extra time. Even the penalties went to sudden death with Bowdon Church school the eventual winners.
All the games were played in a fantastic spirit and we would like to to thank all the school staff & parents for bringing the children to the stadium.
A big thanks also to the Altrincham FC community coaches and our referees from our Btec programme.
We are delighted that Alex Hendley and James Sproston have chosen ourselves & Curzon Ashton in the Community as their chosen charities to raise funds for when they complete the Great Manchester Run.
Both are keen non league football fans who run a non league football podcast which can be found @NLWanderers on twitter.
