Huddersfield Town Foundation

Huddersfield Town Foundation Profile and History

The overall aim of the Huddersfield Town Foundation is simple - to help improve the quality of life for young people across Huddersfield and the West Yorkshire area. The brainchild of Huddersfield Town Chairman Dean Hoyle, the Foundation was officially launched in July 2012 after the football club enjoyed huge success in previous initiatives designed to benefit youngsters across the community. Hoy le, backed by local businesses and individuals alike, had already taken a cumulative total of almost 2,000 local children to the Club's two Play-Off Final games at Manchester's Old Trafford in May 2011 and the iconic Wembley Stadium in May 2012 to watch Huddersfield Town in action on the big stage. Without the financial backing raised through initiatives such as a bike ride from Huddersfield to Wembley in the week leading up to the 2012 game, those children would not have that treasured memory.
