Adam and Charlie's Half Marathon for Football Beyond Borders
Fundraising for Football Beyond Borders
Story
Adam and Charlie will be running the Southampton Half Marathon in an attempt to raise as much money as possible for Football Beyond Borders. We are part of a group of students at the University of Southampton who are close to setting up a society in the first step towards spreading FBB across the country.
We believe that football is the most powerful tool in inspiring young people to achieve their best and we can think of no better way to give students that extra boost by combining the world's favourite sport with school work.
The FBB methodology combines football training sessions delivered by FA qualified coaches with mentoring and tutoring programmes focused on giving educational and employment support to young people in some of London’s most deprived estates and schools. Participants also work towards fundraising and organising an annual international football tour.
