Area-based Development and Implementation Plan - Charnwood September 2019 – August 2023 Context LCFC’s success makes a significant economic contribution to :

 The County’s only Premier League team  £140m GDP, £78m tax revenues and over 2,500 jobs  2015/16 120,000 visitors to the Region, supporting 380 jobs, generating £500m - £850m  2016/17 10,000 new international tourists & 60% upswings in international student applications

Despite its recent success, LCFC remains a club proudly rooted in the local community:

 Leicester City in the Community (LCitC) forges effective links with local communities, including children and vulnerable groups.  Large proportion of the regional population associates itself with the fortunes of LCFC

 Promotional benefits of the Club to sporting activity and engagement in the local area

Progressing young talented footballers is recognised by Government, national sporting bodies and helps foster civic and national pride The aim of the strategy

 To provide young people with positive activities outside of school time, in holidays and at weekends  To increase young people’s participation in, and enjoyment of, physical activity  To support schools to engage and inspire young people and raise their aspirations using ‘LCFC’ as the stimulus to learn  To support local Junior Grassroots Football Clubs through the provision of professional football coaching for young players (including ‘cash-back’ to Clubs to support their investment) and facilitating links with Turf to maintain pitches and upskill volunteers in pitch maintenance

2018/2019 in Numbers

 971 Charnwood residents took part in LCitC activity across last year  534 unique engagements with community activity that was based in Charnwood  836 sessions ran across 15 different community programmes  Holiday courses ran in partnership with 2 different grassroots clubs through the year Current regular activity
