WATFORD's Community Sports and Education Trust today launched their own website - www.watfordfccsetrust.com.

The website will prove an important marketing tool for the Trust containing important up to date information on the projects currently running, how to get involved, how to donate as well as information on all the staff behind the scenes.

Coming soon customers will also be able to book courses online saving much needed time for parents!

The Trust is a registered charity (Charity No: 1102239), having gained charitable status in April 2004 and is currently sponsored by Total UK.

Due to the success and popularity of the Trust's work it now employs 18 full time staff and in excess of 50 sessional staff. 

This has enabled the Trust to strengthen and broaden its partnerships with a wide variety of individuals and organisations. The Trust currently runs activity programmes within Hertfordshire and its surrounding areas, as well as in the London Boroughs of Harrow and Hillingdon.

The team currently focuses on four key themes which are Sports Participation, Social Inclusion, Health and Education. Each of the community projects and activities fits under one of these themes or cuts across a number of them. 

Watford FC's Community Sports and Education Trust have identified a number of key aims which remain integral to all of the work the Trust undertakes.

The Trust's current aims include:

- To promote sport and learning opportunities to the wider community
- To place Watford FC at the heart of its community by providing opportunities for interaction with the Club
- To help grow the future supporter base of Watford FC by developing the geographical reach of the Club
- To work with individuals and organisations to establish strong partnerships which provide a platform from which to develop and deliver worthwhile and beneficial community projects
- To develop and implement new and forward thinking projects and initiatives which are in response to community needs
- To help organisations develop and maximise the use of community facilities
