WE EXIST TO CHANGE THE LIVES OF YOUNG PEOPLE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT FOOTBALL BUT ARE NOT FULFILLING THEIR POTENTIAL AT SCHOOL. FBB supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who are passionate about football but disengaged at school in order to help them finish school with the skills and grades to make a successful transition into adulthood. We do this by providing long-term, intensive support, built around relationships and young people's passions, in the classroom and beyond.
