Impact Review Season 2023 - 2024

Blackpool FC Community Trust are proud to announce the launch of the 23/24 Season Impact Review and Strategic Plan for the next three years (2024-2027).

The 2023/2024 season was a year focused on collaboration for us at Blackpool FC Community Trust. We aimed to find partners to strengthen our provision and enhance our offerings to local people. As you read this document, you will see many examples of how we have put this into practice.

This document showcases the great work our team does with endless effort and enthusiasm to support our town and make Blackpool FC a beacon of positivity for local people. The statistics and case studies included highlight the impact the team has and the value the work brings to the town.

For every £1 we generate, we develop that into £10 of social value and community action.

Our organisation works with over 20,000 different people each season—more than 14% of the Blackpool population and more than the capacity of our stadium on Bloomfield Road.

We’re really proud of all the work we do, and we hope you are too.

Our Strategic Document for 2024 to 2027 focuses on key plans for our three areas of work: Early Years and Primary, Education and Employability, and Community Programmes. We aim to enhance children and teacher development through targeted sports and learning initiatives within Early Years and Primary. In Education and Employability, we will create more opportunities for qualifications, personal development, work experience, and career support. Community Programmes will focus on health, well-being, and inclusion, particularly for vulnerable groups. The strategy also includes improvements to facilities, enabling better service delivery and broader community reach.
