NUESTRO EQUIPO
El equipo de Bloomsbury Football es una comunidad de innovadores comprometidos a utilizar el poder del fútbol para cambiar la vida de los jóvenes londinenses.
Tanto dentro como fuera del terreno de juego, todo el personal de Bloomsbury Football está unido por una visión común: un mundo en el que el fútbol se utilice para superar algunos de los retos más acuciantes a los que se enfrentan los jóvenes de nuestra sociedad. Creemos que el deporte rey es algo que debería estar al alcance de todos y trabajamos cada día para garantizar que esta visión se haga realidad.
De 4 miembros del personal que trabajan en una pequeña habitación del sótano en Bloomsbury en 2018 a más de 70 miembros del personal en 2023, el Bloomsbury Football sigue creciendo a medida que cambiamos el juego para más jóvenes en Londres.
