Chester FC Community Trust Delivers £8.7m In Social Value
Chester FC and the Community Trust have launched its first ever Social Value Impact Report, with the club delivering a massive £8.7m in social value during the 2024/25 season.
The independent analysis was carried out to capture and communicate the measurable positive effects Chester FC and its Community Trust have had on society and the environment.
The report shows a £1:£10.20 social return on investment produced by the Community Trust which is ‘significantly higher’ than the national average.
Albert Davies, General Manager of Chester FC, said: “This report marks an important moment for Chester FC and Chester FC Community Trust.
“For the very first time, we are able to demonstrate the social, economic, and wellbeing impact of our work, doing through an independent and robust assessment.
“It provides clear evidence of the value created through our activity, both on matchdays and across the wider community.
“This fantastic result would simply not be possible without the commitment and dedication of our staff, volunteers, partners, funders, participants, and supporters.
“The social value captured in this report reflects their dedication, passion, and shared belief in football’s power to be a force for good.”
