Berwick Rangers created a ‘Berwick Rangers Football Foundation’ as the vehicle for delivering detailed activities over a 12 month period.  The move to develop the clubs own charitable foundation proved a valuable driving force in creating positive engagement with the local community.  Activities achieved by the newly formed foundation included enabling organised groups to visit the stadium at little or no cost, developing under 8’s summer coaching schools, building relationships with existing youth football clubs who currently offer activities for 8 years and upwards, supporting the development of local coaches and their engagement with professional coaching award schemes by offering them grants to gain these certificates.
