Routledge Football, Community and Social Inclusion Book

Explore the complex reality of English community football organisations with this academic publication from Routledge. Part of the Sport in the Global Society - Contemporary Perspectives series, this work examines how Football in the Community (FitC) schemes address social agendas like health promotion and social inclusion. As football is increasingly viewed as a tool for social change, funding for these initiatives has grown. This book investigates the relationship between football clubs and their roles in society, looking at their willingness to adopt altruistic positions. It provides a necessary look at the empirical evidence surrounding these community efforts, making it a valuable resource for those studying the intersection of sport, management, and social policy.
