The Alan Ball Foundation is for the benefit of underprivileged children in local communities nationwide and believes that anyone can and should have equal opportunity in sports and the performing arts. Allowing them to gain training in their chosen sport or activity in a safe environment where they can learn, create and build on their personal skills. We aim to work with young people through social care systems, councils, community groups and schools to help fund children to attend activities in their local ares. This could be a grass roots football team, dancing, gymnastics, swimming, tennis in fact any sport. It also applies to the arts for acting, singing, and music production. 

The Alan Ball Foundation helps fund children facing adversity to allow them to explore their passions without the worry of money. With so many children living in poverty, The Alan Ball Foundation believes that being involved in sport/acting/music are incredibly powerful ways to combat these issues and to transform the lives, not only of young people concerned but also their families and surrounding communities. 

We aim to make a difference within communities by making activities or equipment available to all by removing financial responsibility. 

With minimal donations we have still managed to fund kit and equipment for football teams allowing them to compete in a the Gothia Youth World Cup in Sweden. This gave the children of Vita Sports an opportunity of a life time which would not have been possible without our funding. 

The Alan Ball Foundation has also donated to a rebuild of a dance Studio in North London. Dance is a not only a activity, it is a community and to have a safe environment to train in is paramount. The Alan Ball foundation has donated to a youth scheme at a local football club that offered season tickets to youth supporters to allow them to be able to support their local team in non league football and become part of football in their community
