Role
The Killie Community is an independent Scottish charity (SC045968) based at the Rugby Park Community Campus in Kilmarnock, working in partnership with Kilmarnock Football Club. We use the power of football as a force for good, engaging people that services often struggle to reach, staying alongside them.
Every year we support around 10,000 people across Ayrshire through programmes spanning health and wellbeing, youth diversion, employability, education, dementia support, anti-poverty work and community connection. In 2025, we were named Ayrshire's Charity of the Year, and in February 2026 we launched a five-year strategy that puts whole-family support at the centre of what we do next.
