Changing the World
Through Football

Our programmes give children and young people the chance to not only play football but also develop vital life skills, improve wider well-being, grow a love of the game and reach their full potential both on and off the pitch

Working in the U.K. and beyond, we harness the power of football as a tool for social good

We are passionate about football, social justice and using sport as a way of bringing about positive change in the lives of children and young people

PLAY

Our award winning football academies provide opportunities for children to play football in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

COACH

We provide coaching opportunities for adults and young people, allowing you to make a real impact in your local community.

Seeing young people have an opportunity to reach their full potential is at the heart of what we do, with our 'Onside Goals' programme providing bespoke support.

Your support can make a huge difference in the lives of children and young people across the U.K. and beyond.

WHAT WE DO

Onside Soccer has football projects in London (in Carshalton and Twickenham), as well as Belfast in Northern Ireland. They are open to players of all abilities aged from 6 - 18 years old. Our projects are welcoming and inclusive, providing a safe space to learn the game, make new friends, take part in unique football experiences and feel part of a local community.

Our objective has always been to use the power of football to make a positive difference in the world. We currently work in India, where our project helps formerly trafficked girls, in Uganda where we work with former child soldiers, and in Bolivia and the Gambia.

Impact Projects

OVERSEAS TOURS

Part of Onside's work has always been to offer opportunities to players and coaches to experience football in a completely different environment. We have led coaching tours to India, Uganda and Albania and since 2023 have also organised playing tours, with teams visiting Northern Ireland and Italy. If you are interested in travel and seeing football from a different perspective we would love to have you join us!

BETTER PEOPLE

Football is at the core of what we do and our target is to make each training session that we deliver of the highest possible standard. Our coaches work hard to ensure that each player receives the support that they need to develop, whether they are new to the game or have been playing for many years.

BETTER PLAYERS

Running in conjunction with our football training sessions is our mentorship programme, 'Onside Goals'. Based around the six values of leadership, friendship, resilience, honesty, respect and health & well-being, the Onside Goals programme is designed to develop young people both on and off the pitch.

BETTER COMMUNITY

Football is a universal game and a fantastic way to bring people together, whether watching a match as a group or playing 5-a-side. At Onside our aim is to make football accessible to all, creating an inclusive space where everyone can enjoy the 'beautiful game'.

Michelle (Parent, London)

"Onside is an inclusive club that provides incredible opportunities for all players. They are genuinely passionate about the kids and their development both on and off the pitch. Grateful for my kids to be part of it."

Our goal is to help all of our players become the best version of themselves they can be, both on and off the pitch
