City in the Community (CITC) is Manchester City Football Club's social responsibility programme for the local community in Greater Manchester where the club is based.

The club was founded by the Connell family, with help from William Beastow in 1880 as St Marks (Gorton). The Connell family previously helped provide soup kitchen, penny savings bank and a ragged school.
