In 1986, the Manchester City F.C. formalized a century of commitment to social responsibility with the foundation of its charity, City in the Community (CITC).
Now more than 30 years old, with the support of passionate fans CITC uses the ‘football effect’ to promote health, confidence, safe spaces, and pathways into training and jobs for young people, working with 40,000 individuals in Greater Manchester each year.
