Football For Change is about helping young people onto a positive path. It is footballers and business leaders coming together with a goal to help improve the life chances and opportunities of young people from some of the most challenged neighbourhoods in the country. It is a brilliant initiative and I know from growing up in Liverpool that it is needed now more than ever.

Football For Change can change lives by giving young people, who’ve often felt left out or left behind in challenged communities, a fair chance in life. It is all about giving them the tools to do something positive whether that be education, employment or in sport.

The Covid-19 pandemic has made the lives of so many young people who were already struggling even worse.

I am proud to support it.

Football for Change is a great example of footballers working together to help young people in some of the most socially and economically challenged neighbourhoods in the country.

Too many young people from socially and economically challenged communities face a real struggle to reach their potential. The situation has been exacerbated by the pandemic. Football for Change is about giving these young people a platform towards a better future. It is an incredible initiative with an important goal to change lives for the better.

Gary Neville

There’s a collective goal from all the players and business leaders involved to give deprived young people the skills they need to prepare themselves for a brighter future.

It is about making a difference to their lives because too often, those from socially and economically challenged communities face a real struggle to reach their potential, through no fault of their own. I’ve seen it growing up myself. There is a huge amount of work to do.

Toni Duggan

"I'm really proud to support Football for Change. It is a unique collaboration between business leaders and footballers who are combining their efforts to help young people facing disadvantage in some of the most challenged communities in the country.

"We're aiming to fund projects which support young school leavers, particularly those who are facing economic and social barriers to achieving their potential, into education, employment or training.

"We're also deploying business leaders and footballers as role models to help young people facing adversity onto a positive path in life. We want to change lives and improve social mobility.

Jude Bellingham

“Football For Change is an incredible initiative which will provide opportunities to young people affected by social and economic disadvantages.

“It is hard for so many youngsters, particularly those who’ve been hit hard by the pandemic, so now is time to help. It is great to be part of this and join the other football names and business leaders involved. Together we are aiming to make a difference.”

“Football For Change is making a real difference by investing in support for young people in some of the most deprived areas in the country.

“From similar projects, the James Milner Foundation supports, I have seen first-hand the positive difference that targeting areas using sport and specifically football can have on younger people.”

"I'm really proud to be joining the Football For Change team. This is a case of footballers and business leaders supporting projects to help disadvantaged young people find education opportunities, training schemes and employment openings.

"Too many young people simply don't have the tools to reach their full potential and others sadly choose the wrong path with devastating consequences and it is these young people that we're aiming to help."

“Football for change is all about transforming the life chances of young people, helping them to secure better futures.

“I am proud to be involved in this fantastic initiative.”

“People don’t see how difficult it can be for young people who grow up in deprived communities without the opportunity to build a better life for themselves.

“I am happy to support this initiative and help change lives for the better.”
