About
The National League Trust supports community programmes at clubs who are members of the three divisions of the National League.
This support comes in the form of grant aid and development advice. Our aim is to encourage every National League club to become involved in their community.
Projects range from music, dance and other arts activities, encouraging volunteering, work with young people not in education or training (NEETs), helping disability groups to play sport, and creating educational initiatives for both adult and children – including literacy and numeracy programmes. There has been work with isolated community groups, green projects, information about healthy eating and lifestyle, and working in partnership with schools to deliver football coaching and other initiatives.
Our grant aid programme is made possible by the generous support of the Trust’s funding partners: the Premier League and the Professional Footballer’s Association . Since October 2010 both bodies have committed annual support to the Trust, currently £1.2m each year. So far the total contribution is £13.2m.
This website is designed to showcase our work and help member clubs to develop and improve their projects, including guidance on how and when to apply for funding.

CHAIRMAN'S WELCOME
“The Trust gives a tremendous boost to National League clubs. Many of them have been working with their local communities for a number of years, mostly supported from their own funds, and we aim to encourage others to start working in this way. We hope that the support that the Trust can give will allow more clubs to grow and sustain their work. We do not underestimate the important part football has to play in helping local people improve their lives – through sport, volunteering and education. The National League Trust is there to encourage more worthwhile projects.
