Sport and Inclusion
Our Sport and Inclusion programmes break down barriers to participation, creating accessible opportunities for all ages and abilities. Through football sessions and multi-sport activities, we foster social connections and personal development. These initiatives specifically target underrepresented groups, promoting physical health while building confidence and community cohesion.
Health Projects
Health initiatives like Right Mind and CARE address mental health and physical rehabilitation through structured exercise. These evidence-based programmes support women's wellbeing and cancer recovery patients, combining physical activity with peer support networks. Our approach integrates medical guidance with community engagement for sustainable health outcomes.
Education Programmes
Education services include Heading for Goal, an alternative provision for at-risk youth, and school-based initiatives like Primary Goals. These programmes combine academic support with character development, reducing exclusion rates while improving literacy and numeracy skills through sports-themed learning activities.
Premier League Kicks
Premier League Kicks provides free football opportunities for 8-18 year olds, combining sports development with personal growth. The programme uses football as a tool to engage young people, offering mentoring and life skills training alongside physical activity to promote positive lifestyle choices.
South Asian Women's Football
Our South Asian Women and Girls Football sessions create culturally sensitive sporting environments. These weekly evening sessions promote physical health while addressing social isolation, providing safe spaces for skill development and community building through football.
