Richard Luscombe We are pleased to release our latest annual report and financial statement for Argyle Community Trust in line with our values of honesty, openness, and integrity, outlining the Trust’s financial position as of 30 June 2025.
In the 2024/25 season, we supported 101,218 local people aged between four months to 100 years old through 1,049,668 contact hours across all provisions, targeting support for those most in need. 52% of participants are in the most deprived areas, meaning provisions are accessible to those who need them most.
We designed our provisions in line with our five strategic aims and, where possible, provided accredited qualifications, health benefits, and opportunities for positive lifelong behaviour change.
Between July 2024 and June 2025, our income was £8,029,941, which allowed us to deliver a range of provisions in Devon and Cornwall, covering the following themes:
- Community Programmes
- Health and Wellbeing
- Sports and School Provisions
- Inclusive Programmes
- Education and Employability
- Sports and School Participation
- Facilities
- Events and Campaigns.
Mark Lovell, CEO of Argyle Community Trust, said: “Season 2024/25 has been an incredible year for Argyle Community Trust, as we continue to serve those most in need, our commitment to Devon and Cornwall has never been stronger.
“An exciting period of growth saw the new Hub at Foulston Park open its doors. This brand-new community space is already fulfilling its promise to be a beacon of sports, wellbeing, and community support, and is creating even more opportunities and inspiring even more people of all ages and abilities, in the heart of Devonport, and will for generations to come. We are thankful to all our partners and funders in making this opportunity come to life.
“Our reach into communities across Devon and Cornwall is a collective effort. It is driven by support from dedicated partners and funders, our incredible staff who work tirelessly to support people regardless of age, gender, race, and socioeconomic status, the power of sport, and the brand of Plymouth Argyle.
“We don’t just aim to provide; we also aim to sustain. I am proud that we have grown our impact in crucial areas, using data to ensure we are meeting the real-world needs of the people we proudly serve. Whether it’s supporting mental health, helping people into work, supporting young people with autism, or walking alongside those facing cancer diagnosis, the Trust is, and always will be, there. We look to the future with excitement. We have built a structure and culture to ensure we are ready to tackle any of the challenges that lay ahead.
“On behalf of everyone associated with Argyle Community Trust, thank you for being part of our journey and supporting our charity.”
