Bristol Rovers

Bristol Rovers Community Trust have been given the opportunity to apply for funding from the Premier League Fans Fund.

The fund supports a range of fan-focused and fan-led projects, helping to foster a sense of belonging through meaningful engagement.​ This includes schemes for under-represented groups, to further develop an inclusive and welcoming matchday experience for everyone. ​

The potential Premier League funding will look to support projects that respond to local need, and which aim to improve the match day environment for fans, address fan behaviour, and community impact such as the cost-of-living crisis, build upon a club's heritage and engage and support underrepresented fan groups (mental health, disability, ethnicity, LGBTQ+, women and girls), and fan behaviour.

With this in mind, the Community Trust are seeking the thoughts of Bristol Rovers fans as to what area we could look to support with our application. Once a suitable group or project has been decided upon based on responses and support from the charities Board of Trustees, we will look to create a Project Group who we will work with to further develop our application and project delivery.

If you have any thoughts or ideas on how we can support underrepresented fan groups and how you may be able to help, please email Adam Tutton, Community Trust CEO on adam@bristolroverscommunity.org.uk.
