COVID-19 Response

Our Clubs and Club Community Organisations (CCOs) have always been and remain at the heart of the support for their communities and their importance to the daily lives of so many cannot be underestimated. That has been reflected in the outstanding collective efforts they have made in supporting the community response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Click on the Championship, League One and League Two banners below to find out more about the essential work our Clubs have been delivering, with Clubs and their charities doing all manners of work from delivering essential supplies, running telephone support lines, repurposing and expanding social engagement programmes for those isolated, running educational programmes online and much much more.

Football couldn’t happen on the pitch, but Football in the Community never went away….

The impact of our EFL Clubs in their communities

Our Clubs and Club Community Organisations (CCOs) have always had a unique position at the heart of their respective towns and cities. The work undertaken by our Clubs in their communities continues to have a clear and lasting impact. Together we reach over 850,000 people each year across England and Wales. The hours committed by players, Clubs and CCOs, the volume of staff and volunteers involved and the numbers of people they reach is remarkable and we are proud to celebrate this work.

For more information about the impact of our Clubs in their communities on a national scale you can read our ‘Measuring the Impact of Clubs in the Community – Insight and Impact Report 2020’ in either summary or full report version by clicking on the images below. This was a unique study provided by sport and leisure management consultants, Knight, Kavanagh and Page (KKP) following an intensive research project with all our network’s Clubs and CCOs.

To find out more about the individual stories and lasting impact of just some of the people we reach every year, you can read our ‘Our Communities, Our People and Their Stories’ book by clicking on the image below.
