FBB's staff team 2021

Who we are

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.

our mission

FBB works with young people from areas of socio-economic disadvantage who are passionate about football but disengaged at school, to help them finish school with the skills and grades to make a successful transition into adulthood. We do this by providing long-term, intensive support, built around relationships and young people’s passions, in the classroom and beyond.

Testimonial

“FBB has helped me take a more positive approach towards school. It has broadened my horizons and supported me to approach new situations so I am always the best version of me and can stop getting into trouble.”
