The National League Trust
Founded in 2010, the National League Trust is a charity that that distributes grant support to community projects connected to National League clubs, with the aim of supporting and developing their community involvement.
Funding is made possible by the generous support of the Premier League and the Professional Footballers Association, who each contribute to a donation of £1.2m a year.
Without The National League Trust & Premier League Funding, we wouldn’t be able to achieve our main goal of striving to engage with and enrich the lives of people of all ages, abilities, backgrounds, and interests. We use our varied Sports Participation, Health & Wellbeing, Education & Training and Community Cohesion schemes to reach people throughout South East Essex – offering something for everyone!
We are driven by our Million Mission – our commitment to positively engage with one million people through the brand of Southend United Football Club between 2016 and 2026. Be one in a million, go on – get involved!
