Bloomsbury Football Foundation is a registered charity breaking down barriers to opportunity for 5,000 disadvantaged young people every week across London. Spanning eight boroughs and more than 70 facilities across the capital, we provide 12,000 hours of football a year for underserved communities being priced out of team sports.  

 

Of the 5000 children we reach per week, 

• 1,500 are girls 
• 60% identify as an ethnic minority 
• 46% are eligible free school meals (London average is 20%) 

We exist because the price of play is exacerbating social division, and we've grown weary of grassroots standards - be that the flat footballs or waterlogged pitches. 

Our mission is to ensure that every young person has the opportunity to experience the life-changing power of the beautiful game. With our financial assistance model, no young person is turned away.

Please see a testimonial from one of our project’s beneficiaries, showing the impact we have had together: Shola's Story.
