United In The Community is a registered Charity (Number 1127857) and Company Limited by Guarantee (Number 06772188 England and Wales)

It was formed in December 2008 by the then owner and manager of Hereford United FC, Graham Turner, and was the community vehicle for the football club up until its demise in 2014.

Due to the constitutional setup of UITC as a separate company and charity, we were not subject to any winding up order and were able to continue. Since then UITC has had to adapt and is now able to refocus away from just football to solely serving the local community in Hereford and Herefordshire by utilising its unique position and superb facilities.

Vision - United In The Community (UITC) will facilitate and where possible help provide high quality football, sports and educational sessions for all ages and communities promoting health and wellbeing through social and physical activities and encourage social inclusion from diverse groups.

Mission - Maintaining and enhancing the facilities at the Victoria Park so UITC, its partners and community will be able to offer activities open to all and on a year-round basis encouraging health and wellbeing as well as education for all and provide additional income streams to aid the delivery.

Aims of UITC - The charitable aims of UITC for the benefit of the public, in particular, the inhabitants of Herefordshire and its surrounding areas are:

• To promote and engage sustainable community participation in sport and recreation by providing facilities for the playing of association football, sport and other activities which will improve health and wellbeing for all.
• To be an active contributor to the local community which surrounds Victoria Park and provide a community focal point.

Values and Beliefs

• UITC will ensure that facilities will be accessible to all.
• Everyone is unique and has an individual journey to take through life.
• We learn more effectively through meaningful activities that we are interested in and passionate about. 
• Learning is built upon the foundation of connection with others through its community.
• We recognise that we are a diverse community and respect different styles of education and communication.
• Everyone has the right to a voice and a right to be heard and respected, regardless of age, or ability.
• We can live and learn joyfully right now through sport and recreation.

Whilst delivering on the above Mission and Vision over the coming years, we will be looking to develop our Victoria Park facility and surrounding area, to provide better, more sustainable and increased facilities.

In conjunction with the local community, sponsors, local authority, city council, local and national organisations, we will work to explore the needs and options that can be developed to maximise the facility at Victoria Park and neighbouring institutions that will enhance the area and create a community hub that can be held up as an exemplar for others.

In the coming months we hope to put forward some ideas and initial plans, and to start conversations with the community and neighbours to establish a blueprint for enhancing and protecting our community and environment. Please keep an eye on our social media platforms for more information.
