As the 2025/26 season has come to a close, Bristol Rovers Community Trust (BRCT) reflects on a year of significant growth, recognition, and measurable impact across Bristol.
This season has reinforced its commitment to using the power of football to address health inequalities, reduce isolation, and improve life opportunities through education, inclusion and wellbeing programmes. BRCT continues to deliver a commercially focused, partnership-led model that creates scalable, long-term social value.
This year saw BRCT expand its work significantly across health, education, and community engagement, supported by key partners including North Bristol NHS Trust. A landmark two-year NHS collaboration delivered national recognition and high-impact interventions including CPR training, workforce health checks, screening programmes, and matchday health activations.
Innovative projects such as 5K Your Way, Rebound with Rovers, Extra-Time, and the Talk Club Cup helped reduce stigma, increase participation, and bring communities together.
