Talent exists everywhere, opportunity does not. We want to make changes. For many young Londoners in low scoring socio- economic areas with increased costs of living, the playing field is not level. As well as challenges around low self esteem often due to negative societal attitudes and a lack of supportive networks, a there is frequent inequality of opportunity, a dearth of exposure to inspiring environments and many barriers to accessible pathways towards work readiness and personal goals.

At Behind Every Kick, we believe our programme makes a tangible difference to how young people see themselves, their support and their place in the world. We want to reach more young people each year, offering relevant, evidence based experiences through an expertly designed skills development programme including work placements, mentoring and introductions to inspiring businesses and individuals, to create sustainable pathways for future employability, further education and career prospects.
