Barnsley FC Community Trust is delighted to announce Naylor as its first Official Community Partner, marking an exciting new chapter in the charity’s work with local businesses to create positive and lasting change across Barnsley.
As the charitable arm of Barnsley FC, the Trust works at the heart of the local community, using the power of football and sport to improve lives, create opportunities and support people of all ages. This new partnership brings together two organisations with strong roots in Barnsley and a shared commitment to supporting local people and strengthening communities.
As the charity’s first Official Community Partner, Naylor will play an important role in supporting the Trust’s charitable work and the delivery and development of community initiatives across the borough. The partnership will help the Trust continue to expand its reach, engage with more local people, and create opportunities for individuals and communities to thrive.
Edward Naylor, CEO of Naylor, said:
‘We’re really pleased to support the Barnsley FC Community Trust. Our Head Office- and three of our factories- are based in Barnsley and we are well placed to see at close hand the tremendous impact the Charity is having across the Borough’
Barnsley FC Community Trust delivers a wide range of charitable programmes focused on health and wellbeing, education, employability, inclusion, and communities. Working alongside local businesses enables the charity to build on this work, respond to local needs and deliver greater impact for the people and communities it serves.
Naylor has a proud history within the region and is committed to supporting both its workforce and the local community. This partnership provides an opportunity for the business to work closely with the Trust and contribute to charitable initiatives that benefit people across Barnsley.
Kieron Campbell, CEO of Barnsley FC Community Trust, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Naylor as our first Official Community Partner. It is a significant milestone for the Trust and an exciting starting point as we look to build stronger relationships with businesses across Barnsley.
“As a charity, our purpose is to make a genuine difference to people’s lives. Naylor shares our commitment to the local community, and their support will help us continue to develop our programmes and create opportunities for more people across the borough.
“We’re looking forward to working with Naylor and building a partnership that delivers a meaningful and lasting impact for the people of Barnsley.”
The launch of the Our Club, Our Town, Our Trust Partner programme represents the charity’s ambition to develop a network of local businesses that want to play an active role in supporting their community.
Naylor is the first organisation to join the programme, helping to establish a platform for future partnerships and collaboration between the Trust and businesses across Barnsley.
For Barnsley FC Community Trust, the programme is about more than business support. It is about bringing together local organisations that share a belief in the power of community and want to help create opportunities, improve lives and make Barnsley a better place to live, work and grow.
The Trust looks forward to building on this first partnership and welcoming more organisations that share its ambition to make a positive difference across the borough.
