 In July 2008 , the club started a community programme called " Lions in the Community " in conjunction with some of their principal sponsors ( such as HSA and Stannah Lifts ) and a government body to provide a range of football activities for children and schools in the immediate area . Events held included coaching sessions at schools and local sports centres , five @-@ a @-@ side football tournaments for girls ' teams from local secondary schools , fun days and after @-@ school clubs . As a result of this programme , the club was officially awarded FA Charter Community Club status in October 2009 . Despite the dissolution of Andover F.C. , the Lions in the Community programme continues its activities .
