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
“Coming along to Onside changed my life for the better....”
Onside is more than just a football club. For many of the children and young people attending our training sessions it is completely transformative.
Since 2012 we have seen thousands of children attend our training sessions in the U.K. We have also taken our programmes overseas, using football as a way of helping rehabilitate former child soldiers in Uganda, supporting Syrian refugees living in displaced persons camps in Iraq, mentoring formerly trafficked girls in India and working in Albania, Gambia, Nigeria and Bolivia.
WHAT WE DO
U.K. PROJECTS
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. For our full timetable, details of each location and registration form please follow the link below.
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!
Our goal is to help all of our players become the best version of themselves they can be, both on and off the pitch
