Belles for The Community, Britain’s first social enterprise delivering community, social, health and educational services with female sport as a focal point was launched on 10th November 2009 at Doncaster College in front of a large audience of opinion formers and community leaders from across South Yorkshire.
This launch was based on extensive research amongst a large number of community organisations and agencies within Doncaster and South Yorkshire and it has certainly raised the profile of the Belles significantly. It has also demonstrated the importance of opening up women’s football to the community and to become more than ‘just a football club.’
Our legal status has changed to become a Company Limited by Guarantee; we are now classed as a Social Enterprise for the community of Doncaster and the wider South Yorkshire regions. Profit cannot be taken out of the organisation, shares cannot be sold.
