Accrington Stanley Community Trust is proud to announce Jack Leaver as our Premier League Community Captain, recognising his outstanding dedication and impact within the programme.
The Community Captain award forms part of the Premier League’s More Than A Game campaign, celebrating individuals who are at the heart of Premier League-funded community programmes across the country. Jack’s commitment, enthusiasm and ability to act as a positive role model for young people on his Premier League Kicks sessions make him a truly deserving recipient.
Premier League Kicks uses the power of football to inspire young people aged 8–18, providing free, inclusive sessions that promote confidence, wellbeing and positive life choices. Delivered weekly across Hyndburn, the programme creates safe spaces where young people can develop both on and off the pitch.
Jack has played a key role in shaping those opportunities locally. Through his support and mentoring, participants have grown in confidence, built friendships and developed a strong sense of belonging within their community. His work highlights the transformative power of football and the positive pathways it can create for young people.
Everyone at Accrington Stanley Community Trust would like to congratulate Jack on this well-deserved recognition and thank him for the fantastic difference he continues to make through Premier League Kicks.
