About Us
The Aston Villa Foundation is a registered charity (number 1152848) that delivers the community and charity work of Aston Villa Football Club. Over the last 30-years, Aston Villa’s community work has continued to cater to the needs of local residents, community members and fans, laying the important foundations for Aston Villa’s presence in the local community today.
We work with children, young people and young adults both within the immediate areas surrounding Villa Park and the wider Birmingham population, providing a holistic landscape of opportunities to support them on their life journey. Through our three key strategic functions of Delivering, Connecting and Supporting, we share a drive for the Foundation to be seen as excellent, collaborative and innovative, with the ambition to be seen as an outstanding social impact charity. In all we do, we follow our mission statement of “Working together to Enrich Lives.”
