The PL/PFA Community Fund was formed in 2007 to enable Premier League Club Community Schemes to access funding for local projects.
The Premier League and Professional Footballers Association have invested £12.9m over three years, and the Football Foundation is a key partner in the management and administration.
The fund was officially launched in June at Villa Park in 2008 with guest speakers Richard Scudamore, Paul Thorogood, Gordon Taylor OBE and Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe.
Currently, 52 projects have successfully gained grant aid from the PL/PFA Community Fund, all of which deal with health, education, social inclusion and equalities themes.
The fund has enabled participants to take part in a variety of high quality activities, delivered by Premier League Football Club Community Schemes within their local communities; with over 84,000 attendances made at projects. Exciting opportunities have been created for participants young and old to receive accreditation in sport, health and social well-being courses.
