Dwain Morgan, head of business development at Argyle Community Trust, said: “We’re over the moon to win the award – there are charities and clubs up and down the country doing wonderful work and to be named the Community Club of the Year is really humbling. It’s a really great end to a fantastic year. "This year has been a real milestone year for us - for the first time ever we have had over one million engagement hours, we have seen over 100,000 different people across Devon, Cornwall and Plymouth, and we have also invested circa £5 million in turning an old run down leisure centre into a community health and wellbeing hub. "Football clubs are well positioned to do wonderful work across their communities. Wearing that badge, that brand, allows you to make such a massive impact. "The communities of Devon, Plymouth and beyond are so lucky to have a football club that backs them, and we are really humble to be in that position."
