INTRODUCTION TO EFL IN THE COMMUNITY
The EFL is about two things; great football competition on the pitch and improving lives of people in communities off it. With more than 40 million people living within 10 miles of an EFL Club, the potential to connect with local people is as great as it has ever been
EFL in the Community is the charitable arm of the EFL (English Football League).
EFL in the Community (formerly the EFL Trust) was established in 2008 to support the groundbreaking work of EFL Football Club charities.
This network of charities across England and Wales use the power of the Club badge to reach people who need help. They deliver a wide range of initiatives focused on improving health and wellbeing; raising aspirations and realising potential – building stronger, more cohesive EFL communities.
Football Club charities engaged over 1.1 million participants last season and generated a total of £1.24 billion worth of social value across the full range of community initiatives and programmes.
