The Football League Trust was set up to oversee Community and Youth Development activities at Football League clubs.

Headed up by General Manager Dave Edmundson with a team of regional managers, the Trust is responsible for managing funding strategies in both areas, including the annual contributions from the Premier League, The FA and The PFA of £5.4 million towards Youth Development and £4.0 million per annum for Community programmes.

The Trust is a responsive, counselling and advisory organisation, clear in its direction and forward thinking in its approach.

Using the power of football we aim to make a difference to the lives of people by providing them with the best possible opportunities and recognising their achievements to inspire them both inside and outside of the game.

Our focus is 'To Make Every Goal Count' and to be recognised as the leader in Youth and Community development.
