Aylesbury Foodbank doesn't think that anyone in the community should have to face going hungry. That’s why they provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to them in crisis. Aylesbury Foodbank is part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
The election of a Charity Partner for Aylesbury United was organised by the club's supporters' trust, 21st Century Ducks. The charity partnership concept began in 2018-19 so that the club's charitable giving could be more focused, and since then has raised more than £7,000 for the charities involved.
