As a major football club with a proud history of providing entertainment to generations of families, and with a worldwide fan base, Aston Villa appreciates it has a responsibility to both the local and wider community.

We are committed to supporting charities and organisations that help to improve the health and well-being of local adults and children. Our charity partner, the Acorns Hospice Trust provides care for children with life limiting conditions. Together we are working hard to ensure that a professional level of service is maintained across the city.

Aston Villa also wishes to support registered charities and organisations whose work focuses on young people living within the Birmingham and the West Midlands area. Through our Football Development and Villan CIC Departments, we aim to improve the numeracy, literacy, health and social skills of children and adults using the medium of football in fun and innovative ways.

We embrace equality and diversity through our Villa in Harmony campaign. Villa in Harmony represents our commitment to achieve equality and diversity across all areas of our business. We work closely with the statutory bodies to ensure the integrity of our work in these areas and its compliance to all the recommended guidelines. While we plan the future development of Aston Villa we do not forget our historical past and the important role it plays for the people of Birmingham and beyond.
