Our vision is to improve people's lives and create opportunities in our communities through the power of sport. Through our free football programmes we can make a positive change to social cohesion in our communities and decrease levels of crime and anti social behaviour amongst the residents.
Football Unites are the ultimate extended footballing family. We are a huge inspirational club and multi award winning including Newham Community Project of the Year (2019) and London FA Community Project of the Year (2020). We work on developing the sense of cohesion for the local community and provide opportunities for all. Over 8 years we have worked extensively to ensure there is a pathway for all whether it’s progressing through the age group programmes, employment, education, mentoring or becoming one of our ambassadors.
Providing football for all ages to reduce health inequalities, we currently boast 4 Community Programmes across London, 7 club teams, school termly holiday camps, annual football festivals and family summer programmes to an incredible 4500+ members. The lifelong football journey begins with the mini-kickers: 2 years – 5 years of age, through to the adult and veteran sessions. Playing, coaching, volunteering and mentoring opportunities make this an incredible social adventure where friendships are established for life.
