Our Objectives and Activities

We operate across the UK targeting vulnerable and disadvantaged youth that need support and guidance. We provide opportunities for Employment, Education, Training, Mentorship, Sports and Recreation as well as Mental Health support.

Our aim is to increase education and employment opportunities to the disadvantaged young people from the most deprived areas in London. Most of those participating in our programmes are from racially minoritised communities and are in need of Mental Health Support.

We aim to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation, or other leisure time occupation, of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life.

Ultimately, we are using our participants love for football and sports to invite them into education and training opportunities that will improve their future prospects and quality of life. In doing so our goal is to decrease rates of unemployment and improve the academic aspirations of our participants.

Achievements and Performance

During the year 2024/2025, Marcelona Sports Foundation supported 302 young people engaged in sports and physical activity and 150 young people aged 16–24 through mentoring and counselling programmes. Participants engaged in over 32 hours of football and physical activity each week, helping to improve confidence, physical wellbeing, resilience and social inclusion.

Through partnerships with local colleges and universities, Marcelona Sports Foundation supported 11 young people studying towards degree qualifications. Alongside their academic studies, participants accessed structured fitness and sport programmes, financial assistance, accommodation support, mentoring and mental health services. This holistic approach enabled students to remain engaged in higher education while improving their wellbeing, resilience and future employment prospects.

Our provisions are driven by the feedback and progress of the young people we work with and are extremely proud of their continued growth and development, as well as their achievements.
