Join our challenge for the UEFA Women's Euros 2022!
This summer, the UEFA Women's Euros is taking place in England. As an FBB community, we want to run, walk or cycle the distance between all the host stadiums and raise money to support our girls programme. Find out how you can get involved.
Britain's Beacon of Hope
With almost a year to date since the govt-backed report on race and ethnic disparities suggested that the world should look to Britain as a beacon of hope on race. The Child Q case brought issues of institutional racism to the forefront.
Our Mission
We work with young people who are passionate about football, but disengaged at school, in order to support them to finish school with the skills and grades to successfully transition to adulthood.
Therapeutic Approach
Our approach is built around long-term trusting relationships between young people and culturally competent practitioners with lived experience. Our counsellors and therapists marry a deep, personal understanding of the communities our young people live in with the highest level of therapeutic training and qualifications. Find out more here.
Our Programme
Our programme is delivered to groups of up to 16 students, beginning in Year 8, and combines weekly two-hour sessions divided between one hour in the classroom and one hour on the football pitch alongside therapeutic interventions and half-termly reward visits.
Our ImpacT
FBB impacts the lives of young people at risk of exclusion. 78% of our programme graduates achieved a level 4 or above in their English and maths GCSEs. This compares to 56% of young people eligible for pupil premium nationally.
We exist to change the lives of young people
There are thousands of young people who are passionate about football but are not fulfilling their potential at school.
