LONDON to BERLIN challenge! On Saturday 6th of July, supporters of BTG will join together to Cycle, Run, or Swim the epic 697 miles that cover the journey from London Wembley Stadium to the Olympiastadion Stadium in Berlin, hosts of the Euros 2024.
Bridge the Gap is a footballing community that commits to building relationships, developing leaders, and transforming lives.
We bring people together from different backgrounds and walks of life by building multiple footballing communities across the UK. Journey with players on and off the pitch, we deliver open-access football sessions, small focused groups, 1-1 mentoring, socials, events and Alpha courses aimed at young adults between 18-30's.
Our communities are a place where players can come into a welcoming environment and find meaningful relationships, where they feel they can open up about life hardships and their mental well-being.
With suicide being the most significant cause of death for men under 45 and 1 in 4 adults experiencing a mental health problem, research shows that they tend not to talk about their feelings but are more willing to open up when part of a trusted sports community.
All the money raised from our challenge events will go directly to supporting the vision of Bridge the Gap Football, helping our central team grow, and allowing us to continually build life-changing communities across the UK, widening our reach to even more young people who need our support most.
