BU Foundation

Birmingham United Foundation uses the power of sport to transform the lives of young people, unite communities together and remedy society’s greatest inequalities.

Focusing on reducing health inequalities (physical activity) and social inequalities (youth unemployment, youth crime, educational attainment), they believe that every young person is filled with potential and deserves equitable opportunities to help fulfil it.

“We are incredibly grateful to Sport 4 Life for involving us in their Impact Partner programme. As a leading sport-for-good charity in our region, S4L have led the way in this space, and the opportunity to gain an insight into that journey, take learnings and at the same time actively grow our own organisation will be an invaluable experience. We are ambitious and growth-focused and we are confident that with S4L’s support we will be better-equipped to meet our goals.”
