Peterborough United Foundation has named Premier League Primary Stars Co-Ordinator, Luke Cossey, 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.
Luke Cossey has been chosen as Peterborough United Foundation’s 2025 Community Captain for their incredible commitment to their community and for their brilliant work as the Foundation’s Premier League Primary Stars Co-Ordinator.
On receiving the award, Luke said: “I’m delighted to receive the Community Captain award. It’s an honour to be recognised for the work I do at our partner schools in and around Peterborough and out in our local community.”
Peterborough United Foundation are proud to celebrate the achievements of our chosen Premier League Community Captain, Luke, recognising the instrumental role they played in the delivery of our Premier League Primary Stars programme alongside other Community and School based activities.
Gavin Slater of Peterborough United Foundation said: “We are delighted to award Luke Cossey our ‘Community Captain’ as part of the Premier League’s More than a Game initiative. Luke has been leading our Premier League Primary Stars programme, a project that supports teachers and pupils in primary schools with their knowledge, skills, confidence and self-esteem across a range of national curriculum subjects, for 18 months. Luke has really driven the project forward with his meticulous planning and expert delivery that has helped numerous teachers and students across the greater Peterborough area”.
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.”
