Cundall Support Local Youth Football Club

Craigroyston Community Youth Football Club (CYFC) was founded in 2007 and aimed to inspire a desire to be inclusive. The founders felt the bigger clubs only wanted to engage with the best players and they wanted to give anyone with the desire to play football an opportunity. 

The Club are based in the Warriston area of Edinburgh and currently have 238 people registered ranging from age four upwards.

Their aim is simple: to get as many kids to kick a ball as possible.

The Club are deeply rooted in their community, they want to provide opportunities for local young people to help them thrive. Currently there are 15 teams and 36 coaches.

Whilst they offer young people the opportunity to participate in their activities for free, everything they do is underpinned by a sense of community and affordability.

As part of a recent redevelopment of the area, they were relocated to a new premises created by City of Edinburgh Council. Whilst the new facilty provides a great new space, they were lacking basic items like having somewhere to sit, especially in their Community Roomwhich is vital for their club where they were looking for chairs and tables.

Cundall approached the ESES Communities Team via our Portal in early February 2025 as they were embarking on thier own office relocation from Semple Street to George Street. As part of their move they had some good quality office furniture which was no longer required and were interested in donating it to a local community group. This would help reduce waste, and by repurposing the items allow an organisation to save on the outlay of furniture.

The donation of furniture has made an immediate difference to the Club and they way that they are able to use the space and deliver their activities.
