About us
The New Croft Foundation is a UK Registered Charity (1204643) dedicated to creating positive change in the lives of people living in Haverhill.
Situated on the Suffolk and Cambridgeshire border in the east of England, the Foundation was set up to inspire and deliver an innovative range of health & wellbeing, football and sporting activities, to as many people as possible within Haverhill and the surrounding areas.
Based at The New Croft, the Foundation works in collaboration with national governing bodies and local organisations to help provide and engage with local people of all ages, genders and abilities.
​
We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to get active, make friends and feel part of a community regardless of their background. That is why our programmes are tailored to help eliminate barriers to participation to ensure everyone in our area has the opportunity to thrive.
​
Without the generous support and collaboration of businesses, we would not be able to provide these incredible opportunities to the people in our community.
