The Community Sports Trust is the charitable arm of AFC Bournemouth, actively working in the local community across Bournemouth, Poole and surrounding areas.
Working within four main stands of work: Education – Health – Participation – Inclusion
The team of full time staff deliver over 150 sessions a week, working in partnership with schools, organisations and businesses, coaching, teaching, and engaging with 4,000 people throughout the week with ages 1 to 101.
The Trust's vision is to provide opportunities for all, through project delivery, meeting the needs of the local Community and delivering a mixture of active sessions along with education and support groups.
A key objective is to help individuals reach their potential with pathways in place from recreational activities through to teams with 28 registered teams across Community from the Girls & Women’s programme, Disability, College and Walking football.
