The accolades celebrate the very best in club community work and recognise commitment, innovation and impact from clubs and players during the current season.
West Bromwich Albion, Charlton Athletic and Swindon Town were chosen as the divisional winners of the EFL Community Club of the Season having demonstrated a variety of powerful, far-reaching community programmes in response to local need.
Judges were impressed by West Brom's approach to addressing key issues through projects like 'Go Local', offering midnight football sessions during Ramadan and a rehabilitation scheme for stroke survivors.
In League One, Charlton led the way for their school project on the Isle of Sheppey - a high-priority area for the Department of Education - and their innovative work to support the NHS, while Swindon were the standout in League Two.
The Robins demonstrated a commitment to continuously develop and improve an already well-executed portfolio of projects and activities, from helping refugees, integrate into the local area to tackling loneliness.
As role models across the EFL, the 2024 winners of Player in the Community, sponsored by the PFA, were Sheffield Wednesday's Will Vaulks in the Championship the third time he has won the award - Portsmouth's Marlon Pack in League One and Morecambe's Farrend Rawson in League Two.
