"About our club
We are Military Veteran Football Club C.I.C. Established in 2022 by David, John, Laura & Russ, 3 veterans and a pad brat and primarily based in the North East, we organise and run both 5 a side football sessions for military veterans & serving forces. We currently have sessions in 11 areas of the UK and we're continually looking to expand into other areas.
The ethos of Military Veteran Football Club is that any military veteran or member of the armed forces can come along for a kick about regardless of age, gender, ability, length of service or arm of service, all are welcome to join us. We try to keep the sessions as affordable as possible to ensure its accessibility.
Our aim is to offer a safe and positive environment, where people can just be themselves and in turn promote physical & mental wellbeing and reduce social isolation by recreating the camaraderie and friendship many enjoy whilst serving in the forces.
There is never any pressure to come to every session, one of the great things about the setup of our sessions is that you can come as little or as often as you want to. If you can't make it every week, no problem, to us you're still as much a part of MVFC as anyone else.
All of our sessions are run by veterans so they understand what it was like to serve in the forces and the difficulties people can have transitioning into civilian life and the isolation it can be bring.
We currently have over 200 veterans/serving forces registered with us and if you'd like to join us we are always looking to welcome more. If you would like to know more about any of our sessions or want to get involved, please do not hesitate to contact us."
