Crown Highways Ltd has become the first patron of the Aston Villa Foundation's newly-launched ‘Founders Club’ initiative. The Founders Club is a unique opportunity which aims to bring together an exclusive group of individuals and businesses who share our values and want to play a meaningful role in creating a lasting impact for local communities near Villa Park and the surrounding areas. Through an annual donation of £5,000 or £10,000, Founders Club patrons directly support the long-term sustainability and growth of the Aston Villa Foundation. Their contribution will help us strengthen and expand our programmes, reach more people and create greater opportunities for those we support. Crown Highways Ltd Chairman Steve Jones said: “Becoming the first patron of the Aston Villa Foundation’s Founders Club is something both myself and the business are incredibly proud of. "As a lifelong Villa fan and season ticket holder, I’ve always felt a strong connection to the club and its community. As a business, we’re passionate about giving back and supporting initiatives that create a lasting impact. "We’re delighted to play our part in supporting the Foundation’s future and helping it continue the fantastic work it does across the community.” About the Aston Villa Foundation At the Aston Villa Foundation, we deliver vital community work catering to the needs of local residents, community members and fans, laying the important foundations for Aston Villa’s presence in the local community today. Connecting over 30,000 children and young people both within the immediate areas surrounding Villa Park and the wider Birmingham population, we provide a holistic landscape of opportunities to support them on their life journey. In all we do, we follow our mission statement of 'Working together to Enrich Lives'.

Patrons will also receive a range of exclusive benefits and opportunities to engage more closely with the Foundation, including invitations to the Foundation’s Gala Dinner and the opportunity to watch first-team training at Bodymoor Heath. In recognition of their support, Founders Club patrons will also be proudly recognised within the new Foundation Community Hub upon its completion, creating a lasting acknowledgement of their contribution to the Foundation’s future.
