Our partner schools programme is supported by the Premier League and Professional Footballer's Association. Administered through the Premier League Charitable Fund, the funding helps football clubs to tackle inequality and respond to local challenges, supporting people and their communities to be more inclusive.
Manchester United Foundation works with partner high schools in areas of the highest social deprivation, including across Greater Manchester and in outreach areas of Carlisle, Derbyshire, Derry/Londonderry and London.
In each of our partner high schools, pupils are engaged, inspired and empowered to gain a better start in life and to make more positive life choices.
This work is supported by the placement of a full-time Manchester United Foundation high school officer being based in every single one of our partner high schools, from Monday to Friday during school term-times.
Delivery staff help students to succeed with interventions which vary from school to school, but can include some of the following: mentoring; wellbeing programmes; qualifications and skills programmes; work and volunteering opportunities, and matchday enrichment.
This season, 24 professional football club community organisations across the Premier League and English Football League are delivering projects supported by the Premier League and PFA in their local communities.
Nationally, these funded projects have engaged more than 230,000 unique participants in more than 330,000 sessions across England and Wales. Projects are supported by current and former professional football players, and scholars, to enhance the impact on participants.
