Coach’s Chris and Lara were living in Ealing, West London when they spotted a gap in the market for activities for young people aged 18 months – 12 years. They have developed Footy Fun 4 Kids sessions as a way of developing young people in all aspects of life. Football as the tool, allows their coaches to work closely with the young participants at developing confidence, social skills and independence, whilst increasing physical exercise and, of course, learning new football skills! A high percentage of young people are excluded from the game at a very young age due to a number of factors. Footy Fun 4 Kids activities welcomes all young people to the game and nurtures their inner footballer. We give your child a positive introduction to football, coaching high quality football skills in a friendly, fun and learning environment. FF4K VALUES At Footy Fun 4 Kids we believe it’s important for young people to buy into our coaching values and carry them with them in all that they do. All sessions are based around these values and core skills, where we progress young people across the various levels of the club Our values have been developed with more than just football in mind. All sessions are delivered via a child centred approach with a huge focus on having fun with friends: Promote a healthy lifestyle for children Provide safe, fun and engaging sports sessions for all Act as role models within the local community Be professional and the best we can be at all times For those young people wishing to progress to a more competitive game, Footy Fun 4 Kids offers annual trials at our newly formed sister club Northfields United.

Delivered by leading charities tackling youth violence, Catch22 and Redthread, The Social Switch Project is switching the narrative on how social media’s relationship to youth violence is understood, tackled and solved. How the project was formed The Social Switch Project launched when Google.org was seeking a way to tackle the growing issue of antisocial and violent online behaviour, which often leads to violence offline. Where antisocial behaviour was once mostly limited to a physical audience, harmful content is now rapidly shared online, resulting in retaliation and feeding gang violence. This programme contributes to the public health approach to tackling youth violence. Utilising funding from the corporate sector, Catch22 and Redthread are able to offer these learning opportunities for London’s young people and professionals. Who is involved? Initially funded by Google.org, two of London’s leading charities Catch22 and Redthread, launched the pilot project in 2019. Catch22’s extensive research in the area and frontline experience of reducing violence, is combined with Redthread’s expertise in delivering youth violence interventions. Google.org encouraged both partners to use their knowledge to create an exemplary pilot project.  The Mayor of London’s Violence Reduction Unit is now supporting the next phase of the project to build our impact and shape its future development. The Social Switch Project has a large advisory board, with representatives from across the sector, police, and academics. We’re already working with key players, including Google, Facebook, TikTok, City Hall, the Metropolitan Police, and The Children’s Society.
