Gillingham Football Club has thrown its weight behind the EFL's #RaisedintheEFL campaign this week. The initiative aims to highlight the positive role football clubs play in the lives of young supporters across the country.
Club officials said they were proud to be part of a league that provides such a formative experience for so many. "We are proud to support the EFL's #RaisedintheEFL campaign," a club spokesperson said. "It's a fantastic initiative that recognises the important role football clubs play in the lives of young people."
The campaign focuses on the community and social impact of clubs, celebrating how they become a central part of family life and local identity. For Gillingham, this comes as the first team enjoys a solid start to the League Two season. They currently sit 11th in the table with nine points from six matches, following a run of two wins and three draws in their last five games.
That unbeaten sequence includes a 2-0 home victory over Tranmere Rovers last Saturday, with goals from Logan Dobbs and Ronan Chapman Hale. The result lifted the Gills to within three points of the automatic promotion places.
Supporters can check the team's upcoming schedule, including the next home match against second-placed Bristol Rovers, on the club's fixtures page. The senior squad list and player statistics are also available for fans to view.
With the campaign running across the EFL, Gillingham's involvement shows its commitment to its local fanbase beyond results on the pitch. The club's next opportunity to engage those supporters comes this Saturday at Priestfield Stadium.
