Andy Snell – Speaker at the 20th EFDN Conference 

Andy Snell, Director of Business Development at English Football League Trust , is a confirmed speaker at our 20th EFDN ‘Making Football Matter’ Conference in Athens from the 13th until the 15th of November 2023.

English Football League (EFL) Trust is the umbrella organisation for 72 club community organisations (CCOs). CCOs are at the heart of communities across the country, providing shared experiences for all and using the power of sport to improve lives. Andy has developed CSR partnerships with private sector for CCOs to deliver health, education, community safety initiatives. With 72 member clubs across three divisions, the EFL is the world’s original league football competition. It is the largest single body of professional clubs in European football. Prior to this Andy was a Director at Liverpool and Wirral Chambers of Commerce, and Head of International for the Mayor of Liverpool.

Leagues and Football Club commercial departments across Europe are increasingly recognising the value of the work club community organisations (CCOs), foundations and trusts can deliver. National and Regional governments are commissioning CCOs to deliver programmes that improve health, education and inclusion programmes. Private sector companies recognise the unique reach and positive impact that CCOs bring. They are increasingly sponsoring leagues and clubs to align their brands to such activity, create volunteering opportunities for their staff, or simply give back to communities. Andy will share his experiences and knowledge about the growing importance of football club community organisations in delivering public & private sector CSR partnerships.
