The England Football Charity (The Charity) is an independent body, founded by The FA, as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission of England and Wales (charity number ). The Charity exists to harness the passion of England Football to tackle the most pressing social challenges. The Charity will first identify issues that need immediate attention and that football is well placed to address and design targeted interventions that complement the wider football eco-system. By bringing together funders and supporters, The Charity will invest in collaborative and innovative programmes that are delivered by a network of existing partners and managed by a central team. In autumn 2026, The Charity will launch its inaugural project, designed to ensure that every young person has a trusted adult who listens without judgement, encourages hope, and helps them navigate life's challenges. Between now and the EURO 2028, The Charity, in partnership with delivery partners, will upskill 500 adults within grassroots football communities to better support young people. The Charity is still in its early stages and has been working to lay solid foundations that will allow real impact to be created. A full-time Director has been recruited to lead the charity, with support from a small board that has been recruited over time. The next step is to recruit an inspiring Chair who can support both the board and executive team to move to the next stage where funding will be distributed to our incredible delivery partners to roll out our first project.
