Halewood Academy pupils have been benefitting from the Football Beyond Borders mentoring project (FBB).
A registered charity since 2014, FBB works with youngsters aged 12 to 16, from areas of social and economic disadvantage passionate about football but disengaged with school. It helps them finish with skills and grades through a football themed social and emotional learning curriculum.
Delivered by relatable role models combined with therapeutic interventions, Halewood Academy has been involved since 2021. There’s 126 programs supporting over 2000 young people across England.
