Waveney Youth F.C. changed it's name in 2012 to Waveney F.C. to reflect the changes which have taken place within the club and a growing emphasis towards adult football with Men, Ladies and Disability teams as important as the increasing number of youth teams.

The Club is situated in Lowestoft, Suffolk and was established in 1978 by it's founder Brian Gallagher and was awarded F.A. Charter Community Club status in 2005.

The Club has been recognised for their achievements both locally and regionally and in 2007 the Club was awarded the F. A. National Charter Standard Community Club of the Year by a National Panel who looked at what the club has achieved since joining the F.A. Charter Standard Scheme in 2003 and the biggest event in the Club's history was achieved when the panel voted Waveney Youth F. C. the best Club in England!!

As the name suggests, the Club has focussed on their community club status, we have excellent links with primary schools in North Lowestoft.
