Kinetic Foundation

Who we are

The Kinetic Foundation is an innovative London-based football and education charity which helps young people who reside in the most deprived areas of the UK, are from low-income households and/or from historically marginalised ethnic backgrounds to stay in education through their passion for football.

Through our flagship programmes, Kinetic Academy and Kinetic Futures, we combine high-quality football programmes with post-16 education pathways, enhanced by employability and mentorship programmes and workshops.

Since 2011, we’ve worked with over 12,000 young people, transforming their lives as we help them to achieve in their full potential on and off the pitch.

We empower young people to successfully transition into employment, training, university, or the professional game, thus achieving social mobility and enhancing their future prospects.

Our culture and values

The UK has high levels of young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) and low levels of social mobility. Linked to this, a young person's outcomes are disproportionately affected by the demographic and economic status they are born into. Through delivering our mission, we aim to break this cycle.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
