Horden Community Welfare Football Club is a football club based in Horden, County Durham, England. The club was formed as Horden Athletic in 1907, changing its name to Horden Welfare in 1928,[1] and joined the North Eastern League in 1935, reaching the second round of the FA Cup in the 1938–39 season.[2] After the assets of the original Colliery Welfare were transferred to a new club in Darlington in 2016, Community Welfare was formed in 2017 and has regained the former club's place in the Northern League.
They are currently members of the Northern League Division Two and play at Welfare Park in Horden. The ground has one stand, which consists of mainly seating, however below this there is some terracing as well.
