Building a Club, Building a Community: AFC Greenwich Borough’s Inspiring Journey

Guests At Maritime Radio

Saturday, 27 September 2025 - 8 minutes

In this episode, we sit down with Paul Whitehead, Chairman of AFC Greenwich Borough — a football club that’s brand new in name, but with a legacy stretching back over 15 years. From academy success stories to an unbeaten start in their debut season, AFC Greenwich Borough is proving they’re more than just another non-league side.

Paul shares the remarkable story of how the club was formed, their vision for transforming 18 acres of sports land in Eltham, and the powerful new partnership with The Chartwell Children’s Cancer Trust — supporting children with cancer and their families across South East London.

It’s football, community, and social responsibility all rolled into one.

Find out how AFC Greenwich Borough is building something much bigger than a club.
