Ahead of Community Day, the board of trustees of Chester FC Community Trust wishes to place on record its thanks to the Chester FC family for its continued support and encouragement of our charity.
Our mission is to use power of sport and the appeal of Chester FC to improve and enhance the lives of people living in Chester and the surrounding areas. This is achieved through delivering high quality football and physical activity, education programmes, social inclusion provision, and health & wellbeing projects to people of all ages and abilities.
The Community Trust was granted charitable status in August 2017 and the work we undertake is only possible thanks to grants and donations we receive from our funding partners, in particular MBNA, the National League Trust, Premier League Charitable Fund and Football Foundation.
Our charity continues to grow and we now employ a team of 12 full time, part time and casual staff whose work is supported by the efforts of our outstanding volunteers. It is important that we undertake our own fundraising activities and explore opportunities for generating income to ensure the Community Trust remains sustainable and can continue its work.
