Aberdeen FC Community Trust, Aberdeen Football Club’s official award winning partner charity, has announced a few changes to their own Board of Trustees.

Len Taylor, former Head of AFC Youth Academy & St Machar Academy, and Adrian Watson, Chief Superintendent with Police Scotland, are both stepping down after over two years on the AFCCT Board.

AFCCT Chairman Duncan Skinner stated, “As original members of the AFCCT Board of Trustees, Len and Adrian have contributed hugely to the development of the Community Trust. Their professional expertise, combined with real energy and good humour, has been invaluable, and I thank them sincerely for the time they have given to AFCCT in support of local communities.”

Three new Trustees will now take their place. Neil Hendry, Head Teacher at Northfield Academy; Steve Innes, Managing Director of I&K Motors; and Innes Walker, Superintendent with Police Scotland have now been appointed.

AFCCT Chief Executive Ally Prockter commented, “I am confident the arrival of these new Trustees will bring a fresh perspective to AFC Community Trust.  Whilst we are delighted with the progress made so far, AFCCT is committed to doing things bigger and better, and it is always important to freshen up any team irrespective of how good things are at the time.” Ally continued, “I have worked closely with all three whilst at AFCCT, and having them join the AFCCT Board is a massive bonus for communities in the North East of Scotland.”

Currently the Scottish FA ‘Best Professional Club in the Community 2015’, AFC Community Trust exists ‘To provide support and opportunity to change lives for the better’, delivering over 70,000 participations to local people aged from 3 to 93+ years of age.
