Bloomsbury Football Foundation
Bloomsbury Football is a London-based grassroots football charity working with over 5,000 young people per week. Our financial assistance model means that no one is turned away, and we cater to young people aged between 18 months to 18 years old. Everyone is welcome, regardless of ability to pay or play.

At Bloomsbury, we never turn a child away. We know that personal background - whether socioeconomic, ethnic, or national a is often a major barrier to participation in sport. But we're in the business of breaking down barriers: that's why Bloomsbury services are either free, or subject to extensive financial support measures. Cost will never be the reason why a child loses out on the chance to play with us. Inclusion and accessibility are at the heart of everything we do.
We've worked closely with local community groups to ensure a genuinely diverse and welcoming environment: 55% of our participants are from BAME backgrounds, over a third receive free school meals, and 20% are girls. Bloomsbury - like football itself = is for everyone. We offer sustainable programmes that support active lifestyles, promote positive impacts and pursue full potentials.
