About Bloomsbury Football

Bloomsbury Football’s vision is simple: a world in which football is the heartbeat of healthy, happy, thriving communities.

They are building a future where every young person in London has access to the life-changing power of football, regardless of background, ability, postcode, or income.

Bloomsbury Football is a high-growth, high-impact charity that uses the power of football to level the playing field for young people across London. Every week, over 6,000 kids take part in their programmes.

The charity is scaling rapidly, aiming to reach 20,000+ young people per week by 2028, with an annual revenue of over £12 million. Bloomsbury Football is not your typical non-profit. They move fast, dream big, and build like a startup.

Their growth is powered by a relentless commitment to excellence, on and off the pitch.
