FUTSOL x BLOOMSBURY FOOTBALL FOUNDATION
This Refugee Week, we’ve partnered with Bloomsbury Football Foundation to raise money for their invaluable work with refugee and asylum-seeking young people across London.
Football has the unique ability to create connections across cultures, communities and lived experiences. Different stories, different journeys, one game.
To mark Refugee Week, Futsol has partnered with Bloomsbury Football Foundation on a limited-edition ‘jumpers for goalposts’ sweatshirt supporting their work with refugee and asylum-seeking young people across London.
“‘Jumpers for goalposts' is how we like to picture football at its simplest. A ball, a bit of space, some mates and a couple of jumpers are all you need to get going. It's easy to assume football is accessible for everyone. But that’s a common misconception. For many young people, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, the barriers are very real.” Charlie Hyman, CEO & Founder of Bloomsbury Football Foundation.
For the past 8 years, Bloomsbury has used football as a tool for social change, providing access to sport, mentorship, education and community for thousands of young people. Their programmes help create safe, welcoming environments where young people can build confidence, develop friendships and feel a sense of belonging.
All profits from sales will support Bloomsbury’s work with refugee and asylum-seeking young people across London.
