Young people and a coach playing football on a community pitch

The heart of Forest

More than
a football club.

We use the power of football to inspire, educate and change lives across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.

Our purpose

Football can change everything.

Nottingham Forest Foundation is the official charity of Nottingham Forest Football Club. We create opportunities for people of all ages to feel healthier, more confident and connected.

From a first kick on the pitch to a new qualification, our team works every day with local schools, families and communities to make a lasting difference.
