Due to the success and popularity of the Trust’s work it now employs twenty full time staff and in excess of fifty sessional staff. This has enabled the Trust to strengthen and broaden its partnerships with a wide variety of individuals and organisations. The Trust currently runs activity programmes within Hertfordshire and its surrounding areas, as well as in the London Boroughs of Harrow and Hillingdon.

With a dedicated, committed and extremely passionate team of staff the Trust is able to not only develop a wide range of creative projects but also deliver them to a high quality. As a Trust we currently focus on four key themes which are Sports Participation, Social Inclusion, Health and Education. Each of our community projects and activities fits under one of these themes or cuts across a number of them. In addition to this we are also involved in and are able to help organisations who are developing local community facilities.

Although we have traditionally been seen as a purely football provider, this is certainly no longer the case! Please see a brief list of the variety of programmes we currently run:

Schools programme
