The team at Derby County Community Trust has a clear mission.

We will harness and use the power of Derby County Football Club to improve the lives and communities of local people through sport, physical activity, health and education.

We help more than 25,000 people a year and our work is respected and recognised at a national level. We have twice been named English Football League Community Club of the Year.

Derby County has played a major role in Derbyshire life since 1884. The club helps unite our community. It excites and it inspires.

As a charity Derby County Community Trust has built on that relationship since 2008 - encouraging participation and achievement in sport, improving health and wellbeing, providing and enhancing education and promoting equality and diversity.

We care about our community. We collaborate with local and national partners to help people fulfil their potential.

We have an outstanding team of more than 70 full-time staff, supported by hundreds of volunteers, who are out there in our community every day, making a difference.

We are proud of what we do. We are proud of our people. And we are proud of the thousands of participants who are improving their lives as a result of their association with us.
