FBB exists to support the country's most vulnerable students to thrive in school and make a successful transition to adulthood.
FBB’s “therapists in tracksuits” use the power of football to engage the most at risk and vulnerable students in therapeutic interventions which don't feel like therapy.
FBB has grown rapidly over the past decade and works with 3,000 young people on 200 programmes at schools across London, the South East, the West Midlands, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
It has big ambitions and wants to grow its direct delivery at 20% per year to reach 6,500 young people in the 2029/30 academic year.
Chimo is funding a Head of London Programmes to broaden their service offer and expand their work into social prescriptions for mental health services across the NHS, schools, local authorities and multi-academy trusts.
