About us.
Football Journeys is a charity that brings young people from different communities together to share new experiences, find common ground and overcome stereotypes through the language of film and the love of football.
Football Journeys is a charity dedicated to uniting young people from diverse communities. Since 2012, we've been breaking down barriers and fostering understanding by creating opportunities for shared experiences and meaningful interaction.
We believe that connecting young people from different backgrounds builds trust, dismantles stereotypes, and strengthens their faith in society. Through experiential learning, our participants discover new skills, expand their networks, and grow beyond their comfort zones.
Our Vision.
A society where young people explore the world, embrace differences, and unite through understanding and collaboration.
Our Mission.
To connect and empower young people to become empathetic leaders.
Our Values.
Our core values are the foundation of everything we do. We believe in the power of community, the strength of collaboration, the richness of diversity, and the importance of empathy.
Community: We believe in building strong communities where everyone feels a sense of belonging and connection.
Collaboration: We work together, both internally and with our partners, to achieve shared goals and create positive impact.
Diversity: We celebrate the richness that diversity brings and strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected.
Empathy: We approach our work with compassion and understanding, recognising the importance of listening to and learning from others.
The Issues We Tackle
“It was scary at the beginning because I didn’t know what they were going to be like. I wasn’t really confident going to other places and meeting new people but now I’ve met these lot I’ll be okay for the next time.”
