Help Shape FC United’s Sustainability Journey – Join Us Before the Salford Friendly

FC United is proud to be taking part in the Pledgeball project, an exciting initiative that helps sports clubs, supporters and local communities take positive action on climate change and sustainability.

As a supporter-owned club with strong community values, we know that meaningful change comes from listening to our members and fans. That's why we're inviting supporters, volunteers and members of our community to help shape this project from the very beginning.

Join Our Engagement Session

Ahead of our pre-season friendly against Salford City on Saturday 18th July, we'll be hosting an informal engagement session to gather ideas and hear from supporters.

Date: Saturday 18th July
Time: 12:00pm – 1:30pm
Location: FC United of Manchester
Food: Refreshments will be provided

What Will We Be Discussing?

The Pledgeball project is intentionally open and evolving, and we want supporters at the heart of it.

During the session, we'll explore:

• Creating an identity for the project, including a name and visual style that reflects FC United's values
• Developing key sustainability and climate messages for our members, supporters and wider community
• Identifying the best ways to communicate these messages across the club
• Sharing ideas on how we can encourage more sustainable behaviours, including active travel to matches and events
• Discussing future activities and supporter engagement opportunities throughout the season

Whether you're passionate about sustainability, active travel, community engagement or simply want to help shape an important club initiative, we'd love to hear your ideas.

Get Involved Beyond the Session

We're also looking to establish a small working group to help drive the project forward over the coming months.

Strong communication will be vital to the success of this initiative, so we're particularly keen to hear from anyone with experience or interest in:

• Communications and marketing
• Social media and content creation
• Community engagement
• Sustainability and environmental initiatives
• Event planning and supporter engagement

If you'd like to play an active role in helping FC United communicate and develop this work, the engagement session will be a great opportunity to express your interest and find out more.

Free Match Ticket Offer

As an added bonus, the first 20 people to sign up for or attend the engagement session will receive a free match ticket for the pre-season friendly against Salford City later that day.

Be Part of the Conversation

This project is about bringing supporters together to help create a more sustainable future for FC United and our community. Your ideas, experiences and enthusiasm can help shape how we approach climate action as a club.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 18th July and hearing your thoughts.

Together, let's make a positive difference on and off the pitch.
