This is best achieved when the power of both the Football Club and the CCO are brought together. We also continue to work with a significant number of key partners whose ambitions we share, such as DWP, DCMS, MHCLG, Department for Education, NCS, Sport England and the NHS. We are confident about the pivotal role we can play in helping them to meet our shared objectives.  In the past year we have invested over £18 million in our network, more than ever before. We remain committed to providing a world class service to our network of partners to help them maximise and quantify their impact.  We will continue to embed a culture within the EFL Trust where improvement is a habit and our people are encouraged to challenge and innovate.
