From the Wikipedia article
Horden Community Welfare Football Club is a football club based in Horden, County Durham, England. The club was formed as Horden Athletic in 1907, changing its name to Horden Welfare in 1928, and joined the North Eastern League in 1935, reaching the second round of the FA Cup in the 1938–39 season. After the assets of the original Colliery Welfare were transferred to a new club in Darlington in 2016, Community Welfare was formed in 2017 and has regained the former club's place in the Northern League. They are currently members of the Northern League Division One and play at Welfare Park in Horden. The ground has one stand, which consists of mainly seating, however below this there is some terracing as well.

Background
History
As Horden Athletic, the club's key successes were winning the Wearside League in 1911–12, 1912–13, and 1913–14, and the Monkwearmouth Charity Cup in 1912–13 and 1922–23. On a national scale, the club reached the first round of the FA Cup in 1925–26, losing 3–2 at home to Football League second division side Darlington. Horden Colliery Welfare joined the North Eastern League in 1935, winning it in 1938. When that league collapsed in 1958 they spent several years with brief periods in a number of leagues: the Midland League, the Northern Counties League, the reformed North Eastern League (which they won in 1964), and the Wearside League, before being elected to the Northern League in 1975.…
