The Premier League Charitable Fund (PLCF) celebrated its 10-year anniversary this year, recognising the impact football clubs have had on their communities.

The PLCF was established in 2010 to distribute funding provided by the Premier League to professional football club community organisations across England and Wales, supporting them in their delivery of local outreach initiatives.

Over the last decade, the PLCF has provided assistance and investment to 110 professional football clubs across the Premier League, EFL and National League.

To mark the anniversary, clubs chose community programme award winners - individuals who have been positively influenced by their involvement in activity or who have supported others. Some of those winners are below.
