Our History - Wolves Foundation

Our History

Wolves Foundation began life as Wolves in the Community in 1991, thanks largely to the work of the late Baroness Rachael Heyhoe-Flint, a pioneering cricketer who also had a spell as a Wolves director and club vice-president. Rachael was in charge of the public relations at the club and would arrange for players to carry out visits in the community.

In 2008, we became a registered charity as Wolves Community Trust, gradually increasing the number and range of our projects. We then rebranded as the Wolves Foundation in 2017 and have continued to expand our programme of activities ever since, with over 40 different projects now running throughout the city.
