Empowering Communities, Changing Lives

Ashton United in the Community (AUITC) is a dedicated charity working to make a positive impact in Ashton-under-Lyne and beyond. We connect Ashton United Football Club with the community, supporting volunteers in local projects, events, and activities. Based in Ashton Under Lyne, Greater Manchester, we aim to address local issues, offer volunteering opportunities, improve confidence, health, and skills. We also focus on tackling challenges like poverty, isolation, poor wellbeing, and unemployment. 

 

​Ashton United in the Community was honored with The King’s Award for Voluntary Service (MBE), recognising the dedication of our incredible volunteers. We run lunch clubs for older residents, offering a warm space for meals and companionship. Grassroots football sessions are set up for kids seeking the opportunity to improve. We also take pride in supporting and celebrating volunteers, providing opportunities to give back, gain experience, and make a real difference in the community.
