For the second time in three years, Boro have been named the EFL's Community Club of the Year for the North East and Yorkshire.​

The club are one of six regional winners recognised for making a significant difference to the lives of people living in their local areas, through projects designed to tackle societal issues such as loneliness, food poverty and education, amongst others.

Working closely with official charitable arm MFC Foundation, Boro have sought to make an impact in several community projects, including tackling social isolation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting vaccination efforts, teaming up with supporter groups to collect for local foodbanks and much more. Under the banner of our RiverSideBySide campaign, we continue to champion equality, diversity and inclusion and aim to make the club a welcoming place for all supporters and stakeholders.

Well done to everyone who works hard on this side of things. However, as a club we heavily promote gambling (including to under 18s) so it’s far from perfect in its approach. Money talks on that front, though.

Every EFL club. It was judged region by region.
Look at the work that MFC Foundation do. Think of the regular Food Bank collections, one next weekend. It all adds up and is all credited. So it is an award to MFC but in partnership with the Foundation and the fans and all are recognised in this.

Fair enough, I know local non league clubs that do similar with regards food banks, provide pitches for Cleveland Schools games and women's football teams.

I didn't know which teams entered, often in these awards it's through an organisation or business applying with very little opposition.

Also tremendous that grass roots clubs are supporting the community.
