The newly named Barnet FC Community Trust is part of an initiative in which young people will have the opportunity to take up one of 2,000 sports jobs such as coaching football, swimming and tennis.

The Trust will have up to four young people to take on with the Government announcement of the next 7,500 jobs being created under the Future Jobs Fund programme.

Up to 200 sports coaching jobs are being created through the Football League Trust, meaning that all 72 clubs will have the chance to give opportunities to work for them.

Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Ben Bradshaw says: "The announcement is a big boost for community sport, giving it a share of £16 bn Government investment in partnership with the National Skills Academy for Sport and the Football League Trust, and will create exciting new opportunities for young employed people".
