About the Company
- Bloomsbury Football Foundation is on a mission to transform lives through the magic of football.
- Her Game Needs You, is our coach development pathway for women, built on the belief that every girl and woman in football deserves the chance to see herself reflected in a role model.
- This programme exists to close that gap and build a real route from loving the game to making an impact in the local community at grassroots level.
- We impact 7,000 young people week, with community coaching at the centre of our approach.
- To us, a coach is a trusted adult and a role model for their players, helping them reach their full potential.
- 'Her Game Needs You' is built to ensure the cohort leaves feeling confident to coach any child, regardless of their ability or background.
- Running through 2027, the programme delivers a mix of on-pitch and off-pitch CPDs, bringing coaches together with an impressive group of mentors, ambassadors and coach developers.
- Because football, and the young people we coach, need more women leading from the sidelines.
