Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is their latest assessment of the value to communities of a Football Community Trust operating locally.

The community arms of local football clubs are instrumental in fostering more active and resilient communities. By harnessing the power of the sport, these trusts promote social cohesion, improve public health, and make a positive impact on people’s lives.

HM Government recognises and supports the contributions of these trusts in helping to strengthen communities and get more people active, in line with the. Government’s own priorities.
