New EFDN member: Derby County Community Trust
We are proud to announce that Derby County Community Trust has joined EFDN. Our new member is interested in working with organisations across Europe, showcasing their work and implementing other best practices at their club.
Derby County Community Trust wants to harness and use the power of Derby County Football Club to improve the lives and communities of local people through sport, physical activity, health and education.
Derby County Community Trust delivers programmes across Derby and Derbyshire, to participants with an age span of 0 to 100. Sessions aim to tackle health inequalities and illnesses, provide physical activity for children and adults, start career pathways in sport and ensure an inclusive environment for all. More than 25,000 people get involved every year and the work is respected and recognised at a national level.
Derby County has played a major role in Derbyshire life since 1884. The club helps unite our community. It excites and inspires. As a charity Derby County Community Trust has built on that relationship since 2008 – encouraging participation and achievement in sport, improving health and wellbeing, providing and enhancing education and promoting equality and diversity. The Trust has twice been named English Football League Community Club of the Year and can provide other EFDN members with project support and guidance.
Sharon Dale, Luke Wilkinson, and Hannah Stanier presented the ‚Team Talk‘ programme and explained how Derby County Community Trust is responding to mental health needs in Derby at our 15th EFDN Conference. You can find more information on Derby County Community Trust here.
