Derby County Community Trust offer several pan-disability sessions to support all ages with taking part in physical activity.

As part of the EFL Trust’s ‘Every Player Counts’ campaign, we are committed to ensuring everyone can take part in sport regardless of any physical or mental disability.

Derby County Community Trust’s pan-disability sessions are supported by the Premier League Fans Fund. The Premier League Fans Fund provides grants to support football clubs at all levels of the game to strengthen connections between them, their fans and local communities.

The fund supports a range of fan-focused and fan-led projects, helping to foster a sense of belonging through meaningful engagement.​ This includes schemes
for under-represented groups, to further develop an inclusive and welcoming matchday experience for everyone.

The fund is open to professional football club charities in the Premier League, EFL and Women’s Super League 1 and 2.

The fund currently supports 137 fan-led projects addressing a range of themes such as community cohesion; education, employability and training; equality,
diversity and inclusion; mental health and well-being; and environmental sustainability. Over 18,000 participants engaged in nearly 9,000 sessions in the
2023-2025 iteration of the fund.

The Premier League has committed £5million to the Premier League Fans Fund from 2026-2028. This will be administered through the Premier League
Foundation.
