About The Jordan Sinnott Foundation Trust

The Jordan Sinnott Foundation Trust has been launched in memory of Jordan Sinnott who died, aged 25 years, after being fatally injured in Retford, Nottinghamshire, on 25th January 2020. The Trust achieved status as a registered charity in late December 2021 and aims to help small grassroots clubs thrive by offering grants of up to £5,000 to pay for equipment, transport and kit in order to help engage vulnerable or disadvantaged people with sport. Children and young adults facing barriers, including young carers, can apply for individual grants up to £2,000 to help facilitate their passion and desire to participate in sport. The creation of the charity builds on the outpouring of support following Jordan’s death, with football clubs in the UK and overseas sending in football shirts bearing “Sinnott 25” for distribution to grassroots sports clubs in the UK and overseas. Three of Jordan’s closest friends: Middlesbrough FC player Matt Crooks; retired professional football player, Jonathan Stead and Danny Ward, Huddersfield Town FC player have become Trustees of the charity and are working closely with Jordan’s mum, Melanie Tait to raise funds to help award to clubs and projects which will enable those facing barriers to participate in sport. The Charity Patron is Ian Wright, MBE, former premier league footballer, pundit and TV presenter. The Jordan Sinnott Foundation Trusts objectives are: 🔷 The relief of those who are in need, particularly children and young people, by reason of sickness or disability, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances, including by the provision of grants to fund items such as sports equipment, club membership or training facilities for those who cannot afford them. 🔷 To help young people, by means of sport and healthy recreation, to develop their capabilities and fulfil their potential as individuals and members of society.
