This is a new initiative that was recently launched by the Trust, aimed at getting businesses involved with supporting the charity.
The ‘Friends of Accrington Stanley Community Trust’ scheme provides an ideal way for local businesses to engage its corporate social responsibility by supporting an organisation that improves health, social inclusion levels, as well as delivering sport and education programmes to over 15,000 local people.
Lyndsey Sims, CEO of Hyndburn Leisure Trust said “Our vision is to promote Better Leisure, Better Culture, Better Lives and we are really looking forward to growing our partnership with ASCT to help us expand that work.
Football is embedded in the heart of our community so this is a wonderful opportunity for us to come together as two organisations who are passionate about physical activity to really make a difference in Hyndburn.”
By donating or fundraising £1000 to Accrington Stanley Community Trust, organisations or individuals will receive a variety of benefits such as use of the ‘Friends of Accrington Stanley Community Trust’ logo and advertising benefits such as social media coverage, website links and match day programme exposure.
ASCT Chief Executive Officer, Martin Fearon said ‘’we are delighted that Hyndburn Leisure Trust have signed up to this scheme.
We have worked in partnership with them for a number of years and a key highlight was securing around £150k to construct new changing and classroom facilities at the leisure centre in 2016. We will continue to build this partnership going forward as we look to apply for more external funding to deliver a range of new projects in Hyndburn.’’
