INCREASING PARTICIPATION
Sport for all is a cornerstone of our work and underpins everything that we do.
INSPIRING EDUCATION
The unique history of football and the location of many clubs in former industrial areas means we are in a strong position to help the people who need it most.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Our football clubs and community trusts exist at the very heart of 72 diverse communities, bringing people together from all walks of life.
IMPROVING HEALTH
We use the power of football to engage with people from all backgrounds and work strategically with partners to improve the health of their local community and reduce any health inequalities that exist.

Every Player Counts: Sports participation for all
“The 25 clubs around England involved in the Every Player Counts programme cover the length and breadth of the country, from Plymouth to Carlisle and Southend to Shrewsbury and are located in a mixture of built-up metropolitan boroughs and more rural locations – which gives the programme as wide a focus as possible.
”The club trusts are addressing specific gaps and needs in disability football within their area which is delivered in a way that made the most of their existing skills.”
