About Us
We aspire to be a valued organisation that helps to improve the quality of people’s lives in a meaningful way, with love, compassion and dignity at the heart of our approach. We are “here for good”.
Spartans Community Foundation was established in 2006 and is the charitable arm of the Spartans Football Club. We operate as a social enterprise and charity. We reinvest profits from our facility rental, community coaching and hospitality services back into the business in order to support and deliver impact in our community. When you buy coaching sessions for your kids, rent our facilities or simply have a cup of coffee in our café, you are helping us support others in North Edinburgh.
Edinburgh is generally regarded as an affluent city, however, there are some concentrated areas of multiple deprivation on par with the most deprived areas in Scotland. Some of these areas are here in our local community, where life can be a struggle for many.
It is our mission to support the lives of children, young people and families in North Edinburgh. We do this by harnessing the power of people and sport to build and deliver innovative education, health and wellbeing and youth work programmes that deliver meaningful and positive impact for our community. We are a welcoming and inclusive social home for people of all ages and backgrounds living in North Edinburgh.
