Fulham Football Club Foundation is a leading community charity building better lives through sport. With more than 20 years of experience, we use the power of sport to provide meaningful education, employability, health, inclusion, environmental, and sport programmes.
At the heart of our work is a commitment to empowering the most vulnerable members of the communities in which we work, including Lambeth, Merton, Kingston, Hammersmith & Fulham and Surrey. The charitable arm of London’s oldest club, we are proud to work with an average of 12,000 unique participants per season.
Our partnerships play an important role in helping us achieve our aims and deliver programmes of the highest quality, with demonstrated returns for society.
Kicks and Social Inclusion
Lauded by partners, our work to engage disadvantaged young people, and to broaden and sustain participation of females in sport has produced tremendous results. As a founding member of the Premier League Kicks programme, we have a long history of engaging boys and girls aged 11-18 in areas of need. Our programmes have expanded over the years to include a greater variety of sports, as well as volunteer opportunities and the chance for participants to earn recognised qualifications.
We work with local authorities, including the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, the Homeless Football Association, housing associations, The Young Lambeth Cooperative, and programme participants to deliver activities that are appealing and relevant to young people.
Our Kicks sessions take place across Hammersmith & Fulham, Merton, Lambeth and Kingston. All our sessions are free, young people aged 11 to 19 are welcome to attend. All abilities.
For further information on the days, times and venues our sessions take place, please contact Paul Smithers, Inclusion Coordinator on psmithers@fulhamfc.com or 0870 442 5432.
