About Bloomsbury Football
Bloomsbury Football is a London-based grassroots football charity changing the game for over 5,000 young people a week.

The team at Bloomsbury Football have a vision:

to create a world in which all young people can get on the pitch and experience the power of football, regardless of ability to pay or play.

Their mission is to provide financially inclusive and accessible football sessions across a range of programmes to ensure that no young person is priced out of play.

Bloomsbury Football is driven by a belief in the life-changing power of football.

In a city where social isolation, obesity, mental illness, and physical inactivity is on the rise, regular football sessions with qualified coaches can support a young person to become happier, healthier & more resilient.

Bloomsbury Football's programmes cater to all young people from 18 months to 18 years old, and they run specialised sessions for those living with disabilities and refugees.

All programmes improve mental & physical health, build stronger communities, and teach young people transferrable life skills.

Founded in 2018, the team at Bloomsbury Football is growing fast.

There are currently 30 full-time members of staff and over 50 coaches who travel around London delivering session each and every day.
