Charity
Wolves Aid is the biggest club charity in football, supporting both the local community in Wolverhampton and abroad with specific focus on the disadvantaged and disabled.
The Wolves in the Community scheme, which began in 1991, seeks to encourage more people to support, be involved in and play football in the community. Its initiative formed, and has sustained, the Twilight and Midnight Leagues in 1998, a social inclusion football project in areas of the city that aims to reduce levels of anti-social behaviour. The project has its own Development Centre to which it invites youngsters at Under 7/8s, 10s, 12s and 13/14s levels. The teams take part in friendly matches against other development groups and teams.

Famous quotes containing the word charity:
“Our inherent human charity and our religious beliefs will be taxed to the limit. No poor, rural, weak, or black person should ever have to bear the additional burden of being deprived of the opportunity of an education, a job, or simple justice.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
