Community & Wellbeing
At Haddington Athletic Community Football Club (CFC), we believe football is more than a sport — it’s a way to bring people together, improve health, and strengthen our community.
We’re proud to be at the heart of Haddington and East Lothian, using football to promote physical fitness, mental wellbeing, and social connection for people of all ages and abilities. Our goal is to make sure everyone feels part of the game, whether they play, volunteer, or simply want to belong to something positive.
Football for Health & Happiness
Regular physical activity has countless benefits for body and mind — and football is one of the best ways to stay active, build confidence, and meet new people. At Haddington Athletic CFC, our programmes are designed to help individuals improve mobility, boost mood, and enjoy the social side of the sport in a welcoming, inclusive environment.
We proudly deliver community-focused initiatives that make a lasting difference.
