Should clubs give back to the community?

I see Everton in the community are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, they have won countless awards for what they do in their community(Even if it is red side's community too). Should clubs like my own Castleview and others give back to the community?

I look across the barrier at St. Vincent's and I look with envious eyes for their own sense of community but that seems to come with the GAA spirit, but I want to do more. The community give us players, sons, daughter, brothers, sister, fathers and now mothers. We should do something for them, whether it's help a group of children on a walk, to helping the elderly paint their house.

The sense of community in the northside of cork city is second to none and I'm proud to say I'm Knocknaheeny born and raised, we have numerous clubs, both junior and senior with GAA and Football, I just think we could do more for the people that give their time to us and even to the people that don't.

It's just a friendly reminder that we are there for you and your family, the community of Corkonians, Northsiders, GAA fans, Football fans!

Your thoughts on this would be great!
