Sky Blues in the Community (Coventry City FC) Information

Based at the Ricoh Arena, Sky Blues in the Community is formerly a department of Coventry City Football Club formed in 1993 to deliver football in the community initiatives on behalf of the club. The organisation became a registered charity in December 2008, financially independent from the club and governed by an independent Board of Trustees; at the same time we are supported by the Football League Trust, which oversees the work of community schemes at the 72 Football League clubs. Over the last five years, the role of Sky Blues in the Community has changed dramatically, from offering traditional football development activities to now playing a greater role in driving personal and community development in Coventry and Warwickshire. Our work now is more than just football. We increase opportunities to take part in a range of sports and physical activities; improving health and wellbeing; promoting education, learning and personal development; and supporting inclusion amongst disadvantaged and underrepresented communities. We work with a number of local, regional and national organisations from the voluntary, statutory and private sector. Our list of partners is substantial and we are committed to increasing the range and diversity of our partnerships helping us to achieve our organisational objectives.
