FFIT (Football Fans in Training)
At Arbroath FC we are committed to supporting our wider community far beyond the 90 minutes on match day.
We believe football can be used as a force for good that has numerous social benefits – including reinforcing collective identities, improving self-esteem, inspiring young and old, promoting wellbeing and healthy living band contributing to social inclusion.
Football is a powerful tool for engagement and we at Arbroath FC believe we have a duty to give something back to our community and deliver real social change.
