Using the power of Accrington Stanley and sport to create opportunities, improve lives and strengthen communities across Hyndburn.
A football club charity with a much wider purpose.
Accrington Stanley Community Trust is the official charity of Accrington Stanley Football Club (registered charity 1139575). Our work began as Football in the Community in 2007, before becoming a registered charity in 2010. Today we deliver programmes across sport, health, education, employability and community engagement.
From our home at Stanley Sports Hub, we work with children, young people, adults, schools, families, veterans and partner organisations across the local area.
