About Bloomsbury Football
Bloomsbury Football Foundation uses the power of football to improve the lives of underprivileged young people in London. Through a curriculum focused on social and emotional learning (SEL) skills, we improve the mental and physical health, social mobility, and life opportunities of children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Our step model engages previously inactive young people from underserved communities by running free-to-access programmes in schools, community centres and housing estates, before encouraging participants to join our high-engagement, extra-curricular programmes that take place on weekday evenings, weekends and during the school holidays.
Our trusted coaches build long-term relationships with the young people in their care, allowing at-risk children to build their confidence and soft skills in a team environment.
As a result of our outreach programme, 73% of households in our communities are classed as ‘income-deprived’ by the ONS and over half of our beneficiaries receive income-dependent free school meals – more than double the London average.
Founded in 2018, we have grown to work with over 5,000 young people per week across 6 different boroughs, utilising a sliding-scale model of financial assistance to break down barriers to participation in sport for all.
We have seen the impact our model can have, and we want to expand our offering across London – by 2028, we aim to support 20,000 young people in the capital every week.
