SPFL Trust Publishes 2019/2020 Annual Report
The Scottish Professional Football League Trust has published its annual report for the 2019/2020 period. Disruptions resulting from Covid-19 restrictions led to the report taking a different approach, for the financial year ending 31 May 2020.
Majority of their programmes faced significant disruption during the final months of this reporting period. Nevertheless, the period until early 2020 includes a number of notable highlights related to the developed existing programmes, secured funding for new partnerships and continued strengthening of relationships with stakeholders.
Highlights include:
- Hearts become the third club to join the Joy of Moving programme
- Football Fans in Training numbers were on course to exceed 1000 men and women participants
- 88 different football organisations participated in Mental Health First Aid Training
- The Changing Room secured three years of funding and interest from 24 new ATC’s
- Festive Friends delivered by 36 ATC’s and the first-ever Hampden event with the SPFL Trust and Sodexo
- Two new programmes launched in A-Team and CachBack – Off The Bench
Associated Trusts and SPFL Clubs (ATCs) have brought comfort where there was grief, hope where there was fear and smiles where there was sadness. SPFL often says, football in Scotland has an unrivalled ability to reach out to those in need. And during this time, ATCs have reached out further than ever before, providing lifeline support, working with local partners, to help many of those worst affected by the pandemic.
The Annual Report also takes on a new look as shortly after the end of the reporting period, SPFL Trust launched a new-look brand. A brighter, fresher feel bringing their tagline Trusted to Support to life, and providing a visual structure for their strategic pillars of activity.
