As schools returned in September after the summer holidays it kicked off a busy period for Brentford FC Community Sports Trust leading up to Christmas. We reflect on everything that happened at the Trust during the last quarter of 2023.

NEW WEBSITE

At the beginning of October, we launched a brand-new website creating a single destination for all your Community Sports Trust content. The site was designed and built by Stadion, the same developers as the Brentford FC website; creating an engaging, user-friendly experience.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

This year Brentford FC Community Sports Trust commemorated Black History Month by telling the stories of numerous people connected to the Trust and Brentford FC. Throughout October we told the stories of our staff, participants, the local community and players at Brentford FC.

SURPRISE TRAINING GROUND VISIT

During October Half Term over 50 Brentford FC Community Sports Trust participants were taken on a special visit to the Brentford FC Training Ground.
