Football For Change was established in 2021 by Jamie Carragher, Conor Coady, and Trent Alexander-Arnold with the mission to improve the lives of young people in some of the UK’s most deprived areas.

The charity has the support of several business leaders and sports figures, including Jude Bellingham, Steven Gerrard, Gary Neville, Gary Lineker, and Beth Mead.

The funding has helped support significant projects in sports, employment, and education for individuals who faced severe hardships or grew up in poverty.
