• Its investment in Girls’ and Women’s football has seen the number of registered players increase from 3,800 to 10,766 in five years, exceeding the target of 8,000 set for Phase 3.

• The programme funds 36 Schools of Football, offering daily football coaching to more than 900 pupils in the most deprived areas of the country, in order to develop their social and cognitive skills.

• The My Volunteer & Inspire Project, which offers 180 young people individually developed learning pathways including coaching courses and places volunteers in appropriate roles useful to their development.
