Four groups to be helped by VCF Foundation auction

The VCF Foundation, Valencia CF and MatchWornShirt have opened bidding in a charity auction for objects donated by Valencia CF footballers and cultural and sports personalities, all of them autographed by the donors. Funds raised will be used to help four groups through two projects:

- “Escoles Cor Blanquinegre” from the VCF Foundation.

- “VCF Inclusivo” from the VCF Foundation.

- “Personalised physical exercise. Keys to aging better” from the Health Research Institute of the Clinical Hospital in Valencia (INCLIVA).

- “Safe accommodation for displaced Ukrainians”, by Fundación Juntos por la Vida.

Any person or entity that wishes to collaborate, outside the auction, can also make their donation either by depositing into an account (ES46 2100 8622 6902 0013 9443), or through BIZUM (05482).

Escoles Cor Blanquinegre has been in operation since the 2015/16 season in the Valencia region.

The objective is to help improve the daily lives of minors at risk of social exclusion, with training given by coaches from the VCF Foundation.

Valencia CF offer an educational tool to teachers to motivate students and their classmates, with positive repercussions on the centre itself, the teachers and the students' families.

Inmates of the penitentiary centres in the region are also beneficiaries of Escoles Cor Blanquinegre, helping with their reintegration to society.

Currently, between minors and inmates, there are 500 participants and 5,000 indirect beneficiaries of the project

The VCF Foundation plans to launch a programme so that the largest number of schools in depopulated areas can participate in a sports day in which, in addition to playing football, the values of sport will be worked on.

VCF Inclusivo is an initiative run by the VCF Foundation that, since the 2016/17 academic year, has been working with intellectually disabled people, facilitating the practice of football as a motivation for their personal development and social interaction.

Currently, it has 55 players distributed among three teams (Blanc, Negre and Taronja) and is one of the founding clubs of LaLiga Genuine.

The VCF Foundation plans to increase the number of places by 15, providing VCF Inclusivo with greater human and material resources.

The VCF Foundation is an honorary ambassador of the Health Research Institute of the Clinical Hospital of Valencia (INCLIVA), a leading centre in its field.

The VCF Foundation wants to co-finance the “Personalised physical exercise. Keys to Aging Better” project

The general objective of this project is to demonstrate the scientific-technical feasibility of defining a personalised programme of multicomponent and social physical activity for people over 70 years of age, aimed at reversing frailty and preventing the risk of falls.

For this study, INCLIVA will boast the participation of former Valencia CF footballers and members of Valencia CF.

Juntos Por La Vida is a foundation that carries out foster care programs for minors from Chernobyl and, since 2016, its work has been extended to the Donbass area.

With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it has been the first NGO to go to the scene of the conflict to carry out humanitarian aid and evacuate refugees, with more than 2,000 people extracted to date. Around 1,300 have been taken in by families in the Valencia region.

The VCF Foundation wants to co-finance the creation of safe accommodation for women and children in Ukraine, with a capacity for more than 100 people.
