A Final Word

simon carnall - head of community

The last 12 months have seen significant highs and lows, from being awarded the EFL Community Club for the Midlands accolade once again, to the challenges of Derby County Football Club’s administration battle, but one thing has remained steadfast: our commitment to community. We now begin a new chapter in Derby County’s history facing many issues within our society, which we are working more closely than ever, as one club, to address. This report has detailed the successes and the challenges of the last 12 months, celebrating the impact we have made, but not shying away from the substantial work that there is to do to support our communities. Our staff continue to innovate, build our reach and support our participants to thrive. As ever, we thank our funders, partners, supporters and sponsors for their unwavering commitment, and we look forward to 2023 with ambitious plans, aspirations and aims.
