Fulham Football Club Foundation

Leading the way in Community Sport

Fulham Football Club Foundation is a leading community sport charity that aims to build better lives through sport. We use the power of sport to deliver a variety of inspiring education, health, disability, social inclusion and football programmes in our community.

As the Club's own registered charity, we have played a key role in our community for over 20 years, employing over 100 full-time, part-time and sessional staff based from our Motspur Park office.

Our work aims to 'build better lives through sport' and we continue to pioneer innovative, engaging and inspiring programmes for many hard to reach and disadvantaged young people in our community.

Using the significant expertise of our staff, the exciting and engaging Fulham Football Club brand, alongside our committed and supportive players, our programmes consistently achieve amazing outcomes. We have seen increased participation in high-quality sport, an improvement in health and well-being of participants, which contributes to a reduction in youth crime and anti-social behaviour. Our achievements are impressive and include some of the following highlights:

  • On average, we engage over 6,000 young people each and every month of the year in a variety of different programmes and activities.
  • We pioneered the first accredited football business enterprise project in London, using Fulham FC to inspire and educate young people about the challenging world of business.
  • Our flagship volunteering programme engages over 200 young people from diverse backgrounds. As a result, we became the first professional sports club in the UK to achieve the 'Investing in Volunteering' accreditation, demonstrating our commitment and expertise in volunteering.
  • We continue to be at the forefront of Down's syndrome football in the United Kingdom with our team, the Fulham Badgers, representing us in tournaments both at home and abroad throughout the year.
  • Having piloted Kickz, a project that aims to create stronger communities by developing the skills of young people, this initiative continues to be one of our core projects.
