125 YEARS OF HISTORY, A FUTURE TO SHAPE...
Cardiff City FC Community Foundation has launched a £125,000 fundraising campaign to celebrate Cardiff City Football Club’s 125th Anniversary season.
The 2024/25 season marks 125 years since the founding of Riverside AFC, which would later gain city status and develop into Cardiff City Football Club.
Supporters can donate at various levels: £5, £10, £25, or £125!
Donations will directly support both ongoing and new community programmes designed to help children, young people, and adults across South Wales reach their full potential. These programmes include educational initiatives, community outreach work and social isolation projects that inspire hope and a sense of belonging.

YOUR SUPPORT, OUR NEXT CHAPTER!
Our work currently delivers an estimated £11 million in social impact value through health interventions, educational programmes, and targeted community work.
Throughout this season, the Community Foundation will host various fundraising events, including Community Foundation Day during the Plymouth Argyle match, a stadium abseil challenge, and a corporate futsal tournament.
Fans are encouraged to devise their own creative activities to raise funds for our work. Meanwhile, the Foundation will also run Cardiff City FC-themed competitions and activities across its programmes to raise additional funds.
Raising £125k to support our game plan for a brighter future.
On September 1st, our dedicated supporters began their fundraising efforts. Toward Studio, our newest charity partner, participated in the Cardiff 10k, raising over £1,000 (including gift aid). Additionally, City supporter Jacob Lambert completed 125 laps around Cardiff City Football Club's pitch—equivalent to a full marathon—raising an impressive £620.

Gavin Hawkey, Director of Cardiff City FC Community Foundation, said:
“As the official charity of the Bluebirds, we use the power of football and the Cardiff City brand to achieve our hat-trick of goals, which are improving health and wellbeing, supporting learning and skills, and building stronger communities.
Celebrating 125 years of Cardiff City FC is about honouring the club’s rich history, while looking forward with a commitment to making a difference.
We invite all Cardiff City supporters to join us in this campaign, and get creative with fundraising ideas. Together, we look forward to celebrating this milestone anniversary for the club while creating a lasting legacy for communities across South Wales.”

As professional footballers, it’s our responsibility to give back to our community.
