WREXHAM AFC has re-branded its club community organisation as it looks to continue to provide the next generation of football stars the opportunity to play the beautiful game.
The Reds have unveiled the new-look Wrexham AFC Foundation.
The re-launch comes during EFL Week of Action, and while some Foundation staff members are currently in New York as part of a joint-fundraising visit with partners at the Kick4Life Foundation from Lesotho.
The Wrexham AFC Foundation will continue to strive to change the lives of children and young people across Wrexham, north Wales and beyond, serving as one of three strands of the club’s community operation.

The Foundation, the club’s official charity, will deliver targeted charitable activities across Wrexham, supporting health, education, equal opportunities and strengthening communities.
Jamie Edwards, head of community said: “Wrexham AFC was created to provide the people of Wrexham with the opportunity to play football.
“In 2024, nearly 8,000 children live in poverty in Wrexham but through our targeted programmes we aim to continue the club’s founding principle of providing opportunities through football.
“The Foundation aims to positively change children and young people’s lives using the power of football and Wrexham AFC. We want to improve health, support learning, provide equal opportunities and strengthen communities.”
