Big Coat Day 2025 - Thank You!
FC United would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who made this year’s Big Coat Day such an incredible success.
FC United of Manchester is a community football club based in Moston, North Manchester. We have a principled commitment to be of benefit to our local community and to work with everyone in the community through an inclusive ethos that resonates with our membership. We are passionate and understanding of the wider role that football clubs can play in assisting communities local to them. Our community programme is varied and not exclusive to football or sport - ‘we do things differently’ and our community programme is evidence of this. FC United - Football & Community United.
FC United would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who made this year’s Big Coat Day such an incredible success.
FC United is kicking off a new effort this season to support the health and wellbeing of our fans.
FC United’s manifesto states that “The club will develop strong links with the local community and strive to be accessible to all, discriminating against none”. As we know there are increasing tensions in our communities around immigration and as a consequence sadly an increase in incidents of racism.
We’re thrilled to announce that FC United of Manchester has been honoured with the “Our Manchester” Award at the Manchester Sports Awards 2025, recognising our club’s outstanding contribution to the local community.
FC United of Manchester is excited to welcome local children to our Half-Term Activities (HAF) Football Camp this festive season! This free football camp is for children aged 5–11 who are on free school meals, giving them a chance to have fun, stay active, and enjoy some festive cheer.
Looking to move more, feel better, and enjoy exercise in a supportive environment? Morrisso Health has a series of sessions at FC United, designed specifically for people living with long-term health conditions or those who may be at risk of developing one. Not sure if you can join because of a long-term health condition? Reach out to Kathy, who will provide guidance and help you find the right session for you.
There’s lots to look forward to in North Manchester as our Health Creation Lead, Lauren Gregory, shares news of the four organisations we have in partnered with as part of the Health Creation project.
This October half term, we were thrilled to host a Female Football Festival in partnership with the Nurturing Foundation, supported by Manchester FA. The festival brought together girls aged 11-16 to enjoy the game through fun activities and small-sided tournaments, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all participants.
On Saturday, 8th November, we’re thrilled to host Youth United Day here at the club — a special celebration of our amazing young members and the fantastic community organisations that support them every day.
