Football For All
We recognise that one of the most significant barriers to participation in sport is the cost, especially for those from disadvantaged families. A significant number of our families are some of the poorest in London, with over half of the children we support accessing Free School Meals. As such, we have a resolute commitment to equality and accessibility – we want all children to be able to access the high-quality sporting activities we provide.
All our Open Sessions are free to access, ensuring that nobody is precluded due to inability to pay. The programme offers weekly free drop-in sessions in different community locations across Camden, Westminster, and Islington.
These sessions are ideal for children who want to engage with football for the first time and offer them the chance to get a taster of participating in organised sport.
Football Fundamentals
Everyday participants will play small-sided games, giving them the opportunity to try out new skills and develop confidence.
Healthy lifestyles
We aim to teach our participants the value of healthy lifestyles, through regular exercise, positive mental health and wellbeing and football related workshops.
Community
We offer a safe environment for all young people to develop friendships, on and off the pitch, as part of a community-oriented programme.
Social Skills
Bringing together children from a variety of different backgrounds will allow them to meet people they otherwise would not have come into contact with and develop their social skills.
We are Bloomsbury
GET INVOLVED
Our Foundation sessions are open to anyone, no matter the ability, within an inclusive and friendly environment, whether a first introduction to football, or to increase your skills, we’ve got something for everyone. Register for a trial session and join the Bloomsbury family today.
How much does it cost?
Our programmes run on monthly subscriptions to ensure ease of access to all sessions, once registered. As a charity we offer financial assistance to all in need in order to reduce barriers to participation. To find out more about our financial assistance, click the button below.
I’ve always been interested in football but I could never find a dedicated girls session – finally being able to participate in regular sport has really helped me get through the COVID crisis’

The coaches at Bloomsbury always make time for me and ask me how I’m doing – and it’s so nice to know that I have a place where I can feel relaxed and comfortable
