Burton Albion Community Trust is the charitable arm of Burton Albion Football Club. Its strategic aims are to: deliver high quality; create a positive journey; measure and evidence impact, and govern and lead effectively, helping to achieve the mission of ‘Making a difference to our communities through the power of sport and brand of Burton Albion FC.’  

Since its inception in September 2010, engagement numbers have grown together with investment in the local community. On average, BACT engages with more than 7,000 people per week with ages ranging from four years to 80-plus.

At BACT, we try to maximise all aspects of the participant's journey, to allow programmes to continue to grow organically and make a greater impact on the local, regional and national agenda.

Whilst ensuring that our 2017-2020 strategy supports the overriding aims of national organisations including The English Football League Trust, The Premier League and Sport England, we have placed a real focus on how we can measure and maximise the impact we have in East Staffordshire and the surrounding areas, particularly as the key provider of sport and community development.
