The Palace for Life Foundation has been working with young people for over 25 years. We use the power of sport and Crystal Palace to change the lives of young people within our community, particularly the most hard-to-reach and hard-to-help.

Growing up in south London has never been tougher but we are in a unique position to drive positive change. We work in schools and the community, inspiring young people to find a better path and to lead a healthier life. Your donations will directly support our work and make a real impact, for real people.
