Next up: Curzon Ashton (h)

    Saturday’s game against Curzon Ashton is our annual MBNA Day fixture, where we celebrate our long standing partnership with MBNA!

    MBNA have been Chester FC’s Principal Sponsor since reformation 15 years ago, and on Saturday we celebrate our continued relationship, as we look forward to welcoming hundreds of MBNA colleagues, family and friends into the Hipkiss Stand.

    We will also have MBNA representatives upstairs in the Legends Lounge as our Match, Ball and Programme Sponsors – as well as 12 mascots representing the credit card provider.

    The partnership between the club, the Community Trust and MBNA has provided over 11,700 community engagement opportunities and 975 coaching hours, impacting local schools and promoting inclusivity and mental wellbeing.

    As a fan-owned club with a strong volunteer ethos, Chester FC has worked closely with MBNA to deliver programmes that promote physical activity, mental wellbeing, and social development for people of all ages.

    Thanks to MBNA’s investment, the Trust has been able to expand its reach, delivering impactful initiatives such as:

    • School sports provision with local primary schools across Chester, inspiring young people to stay active.

    • A thriving women’s and girls’ football programme with two senior teams, an Under-18s squad, and an FA-accredited Girls Emerging Talent Centre.

    • Key community programmes including mental health and wellbeing football, junior disability football, exercise groups and walking football.

    • Practical support for young people, including summer provisions for low-income families – providing meals and activities – and a dedicated weekly Youth Club.

    Together, Chester FC and MBNA have facilitated more than 11,700 community engagement opportunities, and dedicated coaches have delivered more than 975 hours of support to local schools, ensuring young people have access to fun, inclusive, welcoming spaces where they can develop confidence, resilience, and friendships.

    As the partnership continues, Chester FC Community Trust and MBNA Community Investment Programme remain dedicated to expanding their reach, strengthening their impact, and ensuring that sport remains a driving force for social good across the region.
