Shrewsbury Town FC has named Simon Tisdale as their Premier League Community Captain in recognition of their commitment and contribution to the game and society.
Over the next two weeks, the Premier League and clubs will be celebrating ‘More Than A Game’ and highlighting the positive impact of Premier League investment into communities and clubs at every level of football.
The Premier League is investing £1.6 billion into wider football and communities between 2022 and 2025 to support football at every level of the game across England and Wales. This world-leading funding into clubs, communities and facilities positively impacts and inspires millions of people.
As part of ‘More Than A Game’, the League will be celebrating more than 100 Community Captains – individuals nominated by Premier League, EFL and National League clubs for their contribution to their local community via programmes funded by the Premier League.
Simon has been chosen as Shrewsbury Town FC’s 2025 Community Captain for their incredible commitment to their community and for engaging with and inspiring local schools through their primary education delivery.
On receiving the award, Simon said: “I am extremely proud to have received the award. It recognises not just my work, but the foundation’s work to support our communities and bring them closer to our club.”
Shrewsbury Town FC are proud to celebrate the achievements of our chosen Premier League Community Captain, Simon, recognising the instrumental role they played in going above and beyond in their school delivery and matchday engagement.
Shin Aujla, Foundation Director of Shrewsbury Town Foundation said: “The commitment and efforts of Simon Tisdale have been outstanding as part of [Premier League Primary Stars] and the award is testament to all their hard work and dedication to helping improve our local community. His work is vital in building a community that is stronger together, forever.”
Premier League Director of Community Nick Perchard said: “It is so important that we continue to recognise and collectively highlight the positive impact that work within local communities has, championing those at the heart of Premier League-funded initiatives. Success on the pitch enables the Premier League to share unparallelled investment into communities and football at all levels across England and Wales.”
