Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. FBB have welcomed me into their family since Freddie died and have given me such positivity in terrible circumstances. 

Since the start of the Coronavirus outbreak, FBB have been working tirelessly to support our participants. We are increasingly learning from schools that they are struggling to reach out to their most vulnerable students, but our Virtual School has shown that it doesn't have to be this way. We have designed a digital curriculum based around young people's needs and passions, and have been able to reach more than half of our programme participants. This is in stark contrast to the national picture, where it is estimated just 5% of vulnerable children have been engaging with their school work. Please support us however you can to help us continue to improve and develop our programmes and reach even more young people.

Here's some of the ways you can get involved and be part of the FBB fam! 

1. Run, walk or cycle and tell us how far you've travelled!                                Email mirandaporritt@yahoo.co.uk 

2. Run, walk or cycle and donate what you can to FBB, we hope to raise at least £1 for every mile completed. 

3. If you love what we do and feel you wish to support FBB further, please visit our website and choose to become a monthly supporter: https://www.footballbeyondborders.org/donate/

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
