Enhancing lives and our communities
Our Principal Partner
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to FWP for their unwavering support and for becoming the first-ever principal partner of Preston North End Community and Education Trust (PNECET).
Not only has this key partnership with FWP allowed us to continue to deliver the life-enhancing programmes we do in our local community, but it has also strengthened both of our commitment to positively impacting the lives of as many people in the Preston area.
FWP’s support has been key in helping us to expand the reach of our community initiatives and has enabled us to enhance the services we offer. Meanwhile, the FWP logo is proudly displayed across staff kit as well as community playing kits worn by our various football teams, from our Veterans Football Team, our ‘Football Welcomes’ refugee team, the Preston Centre of Sporting Excellence boys and girls teams, and our Emerging Talent Centre teams.
Their support has increased our exposure both in the community and at Preston North End Football Club, reinforcing their long-standing relationship with the club, which spans over 30 years.
We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved so far as a result of this key partnership and all of FWP’s support and we’re looking forward to continuing this journey with them.
“
FWP became PNECET’s first ever principal partner in summer 2024 and we have been thrilled with the recognition and feedback so far. The Trust’s commitment to supporting their community aligns perfectly with our values and goals.
