Accrington Stanley Community Trust - Impact Report 2023

WHAT NEXT?

2024 is set to be another fantastic year at Accrington Stanley Community Trust as we settle into our £1m building extension and also construct a brand new small sided fl oodlit 3G pitch at Stanley Sports Hub.

The new 3G pitch will cater for grassroots teams, community groups and community provision. It will also allow us to expand our delivery of services. New opportunities for external funding in employability are also on the horizon with the introduction of a possible Youth Hub at Stanley Sports Hub. This will see us work with locals who are out of employment and help them become more employable, whilst also linking in with the business community. We feel it is also extremely important to continue to develop and evaluate our current projects to enhance the experience of participants and create more opportunities than ever before.

We will continue to work intrinsically with Accrington Stanley Football Club to increase our presence in Hyndburn and encourage more local people to join the ‘Stanley Family’. We look forward to ‘helping people participate, develop, and achieve’ in 2024.
