Overview

The Premier League Charitable Fund is one of the biggest sport charities in the world.

Established in 2010 to create positive sporting, health, personal and education opportunities for children, young people and the wider community, the independent charity distributes Premier League and partner funding to professional club community organisations (CCOs) across the Premier League, English Football League and National League.

"We work on behalf of the Premier League and our other funders to positively influence the lives of people of all ages across England and Wales. It is my continued pleasure and privilege to lead a charity whose scale and reach is unprecedented in world sport."
