Organisation description: Football Beyond Borders (FBB) was set up in 2014 to combat the UK’s national crisis of school exclusions. FBB supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who are passionate about football but disengaged at school in order to help them finish school with the skills and grades to make a successful transition into adulthood. We do this by providing long-term, intensive support, built around relationships and young people’s passions, in the classroom and beyond. Our model combines gender-specific, football-themed social and emotional learning curriculums and therapeutic practise with qualified counsellors to develop the key skills defined by CASEL of self awareness, social awareness, self-management, relationship skills and responsible decision making in young people who are disengaged at school, many of whom are at risk from school and social exclusion.
