Whitehaven Football Club Ltd
History: Formed in 1994 from the disbanded Marchon AFC, Whitehaven AFC has seen considerable progress in the years following. Starting with two senior teams and one youth team, the club has grown to encompass three senior teams, one ladies team, and seven junior sides at all age groups, and has moved from football club to social enterprise, and finally, limited company by guarantee employing four people.
The club has just been awarded Community Charter Standard Status by the FA, a tribute to the hard work and dedication of all concerned, and is now ready to add facilities to the recently constructed Third Generation All Weather Pitch. Plans are well advanced to build the new facility which will service the AWP and which will include changing rooms, offices, conference room, and social area. It will be available to the whole community and work is expected to begin shortly.
