charity work & community outreach

our new community outreach programme sees the Eagles joining forces with local organisations, raising awareness for important aspects of the community and giving back to the borough. We have built strong links with schools and charities in and around Bedfordshire, which has made visits to the Eyrie a great day out for all the family. our community partners are extremely important to not only the staff at Bedford Town, but the players too.

“At Marston Vale Middle School we wanted to reach out to local organisations and start developing our community links. From the first contact with Bedford Town Football Club, we found a partnership with a Community Football Club who were passionately committed to working with young people in the locality, giving up their time and offering opportunities for our pupils to get involved with the football club. From whole school assemblies to our pupils representing the club as mascots during games. Every single member of the club community, from the director, to the players and manager to the fans have all made our pupils welcome and a real part of the Eagles family. We are extremely proud to be a part of this wonderful partnership that has inspired and empowered our pupils.”

“‘Bedford Town Football Club kindly chose to support the East Anglian Air Ambulance during their 21/22 Season. This partnership has been just incredible. Their many fundraising events over the season has gone on to raise over £6,100. Their continuous support and commitment has helped us to be there for our patients in their darkest hour and give the very best chance of survival. 2021 was an incredibly eventful year for EAAA where – with the support of people like you – we were able to push our service forward and make sure that we are continually providing the very best care, whenever we are needed - 24/7, 365 days a year. In June 2021 we were very proud to start flying 24/7 for the first time and will continue to provide a 24/7 service, by air and by road. On behalf of everyone at East Anglian Air Ambulance we would like to thank Bedford Town Football Club, Dan, James, and all the incredible supporters for keeping us flying.”
