Tom Flower (1977-2022)

Wigan Athletic Supporters Club are saddened and shocked at the passing of Tom Flower, Head of Community at Wigan Athletic Community Trust.

During administration Tom was a huge support and friend to the Supporters Club, helping to find solutions to save Wigan Athletic.

More recently, The Community Trust Supporters Project became the legacy of the fans of Wigan Athletic, as funds raised by supporters during those dark times were used to benefit the most needy and vulnerable in Wigan.

Tom was committed to ensuring that as many people as possible could be reached by the work of the Community Trust. From older people attending the Extra Time social and activity clubs to providing work experience and career opportunities for young people in Wigan, Tom and his loyal team have reached thousands of Wiganers and changed lives for the better.

We are proud that WASC has been able to work with Tom over the past few years and we will continue to work hard to ensure that his vision lives on through our links with the Community Trust.

Our thoughts, prayers and love are with Tom, his family and everyone who knew Tom. He will be very much missed.

From all at Wigan Athletic Supporters Club.
