A heartfelt ceremony in Parliament took place on Wednesday 2nd April, with the room full of EFL officials, MP’s and club and community representatives, all celebrating CCO of the Year, Community Project of the Year and Player in the Community awards.
The charity is incredibly proud to have been named the League 2 divisional winner, alongside Rotherham United (League 1) and Norwich City (Championship), both of whom are also doing exceptional work in their respective communities.
Chair of Trustees, Pete Murphy said, “As chair it gives me enormous pleasure for us to have won this award. We know that we deliver fantastic initiatives and it’s very gratifying to have been recognised by our peers and the network.”
Over the past 12 months the Trust has gone from strength to strength, delivering 39 different projects underpinned by our strategic themes: Health, Sustainability, Education, Sport and Inclusion, whilst contributing towards a £10.5 social value cost saving.
Community Trust CEO, John Hartley, added, “We are thrilled to have been named the divisional winner, and it really is a testament to the hard work and dedication shown by our workforce every day. The team genuinely deliver life-changing provisions and services throughout Wyre!
I would also like to thank our Board of Trustees for their commitment and continued support. Since launching our latest strategy in January, we are already recognising new areas of need as cost-of-living challenges persist and we will continue to be ever present in our community.”
Fleetwood Town Community Trust will now attend the EFL Awards later this month to see who will be named the overall winner.
