Our Vision
The Shots Foundation has recently taken on a new lease of life under our its revamped board of trustees.
The Trustees have been working hard behind the scenes of the Club to produce a “Strategic Development Plan” to guide the work of the Shots Foundation.
This is where we need your input and support.
We continued to have the motto – “Making a difference in our local community”.
The Vision for the Shots Community Foundation – ‘Making a difference in our local community’.
This vision is supported by the Shots Foundation mission statement, which is ‘To promote community participation by using Aldershot Town Football Club to make a difference to the lives of people across North East Hampshire and Surrey’.
We are actively looking to contribute to local, regional, and national priorities, using Aldershot Football Club to positively impact on a range of agendas such as education, the development of Aldershot, physical activity, health, wellbeing, community welfare, community cohesion, employment and skills.
To focus and influence the work of the Shots Foundation in achieving our mission and supporting tackling local priorities, our work is categorised under four core themes, each with their own headline goal:
Sport and Education – Engage people of all ages and abilities in sport, education, and physical activity, to raise aspirations, attainment and achievement and understand that learning is a lifelong process.
Health and well-being – Promoting health and well-being and healthy lifestyles through our community initiatives.
Community, Inclusion and Participation – Engaging and providing opportunities for the diverse community that lives in Rushmoor and the military personnel and veterans who are based in the town.
ATFC Experiences – Engaging the local community so that Aldershot Town FC is the hub for community involvement and activity.
