For the second time in three years, Boro have been named the EFL's Community Club of the Year for the North East and Yorkshire.
The club are one of six regional winners recognised for making a significant difference to the lives of people living in their local areas, through projects designed to tackle societal issues such as loneliness, food poverty and education, amongst others.
Working closely with official charitable arm MFC Foundation, Boro have sought to make an impact in several community projects, including tackling social isolation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting vaccination efforts, teaming up with supporter groups to collect for local foodbanks and much more. Under the banner of our RiverSideBySide campaign, we continue to champion equality, diversity and inclusion and aim to make the club a welcoming place for all supporters and stakeholders.
The recognition will be officially presented at the EFL Awards later this month, where the overall national winner will also be named.
The six regional winners are as follows:
• Middlesbrough – North East & Yorkshire
• Blackpool – North West
• Derby County - Midlands
• Milton Keynes Dons – South East & East
• AFC Wimbledon - London
• Plymouth Argyle – South West & Wales
