Long-standing supporters of DCCT, Smith Partnership, have re-signed as headline sponsors of the Trust’s Annual Awards, which take place in September.

The Awards celebrate the participants, programmes and staff at Derby County Community Trust, and their contributions to the local community.

Smith Partnership return for the second time as headline sponsors, as part of their own commitment to the local community.

Their ongoing sponsorship accompanies the legal firm officially becoming part of the Trust Partner network, which helps the community arm of the football club to expand its reach and support more people across Derby and Derbyshire.

Kevin McGrath, Managing Partner of Smith Partnership said: “Supporting the community and the unsung heroes of Derby and Derbyshire has always been important to Smith Partnership, having the opportunity to support DCCT and the local community by sponsoring the awards really is our pleasure.

“The date of the awards is firmly in our diary and we look forward to celebrating with everyone on the night.”

Emma Pilgrim, Events and Projects Manager at Derby County Community Trust, added: “It’s great to welcome back Smith Partnership as our supportive headline sponsors. Our Awards are always a highlight as we get to celebrate our brilliant participants and the staff that support them to achieve so many great outcomes.

“We look forward to sharing the evening with our sponsors and supporters as we look back on another great year.”
