Football superstars: scoring goals for young people
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.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
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.
Steven Gerrard
The Covid-19 pandemic has made the lives of so many young people who were already struggling even worse. The Football for Change initiative will give them opportunities in education and training so they can build towards a better life. I am proud to support it.
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.
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.

A lot done! A lot more to do!
Play your part to inspire change
Through a powerful collaboration between football superstars and business leaders, our overriding mission is to give young people the support and tools they need to build better futures.
The support given and the money raised so far – an unbelievable £1.1million since our founding in 2021 – has helped teenagers from the most deprived regions of the country start exciting, new journeys they wouldn’t have been able to previously access; yet there is still so much more to do.
Crippling inequality, record numbers of people living in poverty and a devastating cost of living crisis which has thrown families up and down in the country into financial chaos, means your help is needed more than ever. Right at this very moment, children everywhere face challenging times with a lack of career and skills development opportunities purely because of where they were born. They are being stopped on the starting blocks of life because of societal and economic issues they have no control over.
Your involvement is vital and can truly help to break these barriers through life-changing initiatives. Together, we can make a measurable difference for others; we can fund educational and sports programmes and propel employment opportunities that break down the barriers of poverty and transform dreams and hopes into reality.
Business champions: building better futures
