Performance Analysis Intern
About Bloomsbury Football Foundation
In 2018, Bloomsbury Football Foundation started with four kids and a bag of footballs on a housing estate in Camden. Today, we reach over 7,000 children and young people every week across London and we're just getting started.
We exist because not every child grows up with the same opportunities to play, belong, and progress. Too many young people are locked out of the game by cost, circumstance, or geography. We're changing that and using football, the world's most popular sport, as a powerful vehicle for health, wellbeing, and social change. It's not about producing stars. It's about shaping better futures.
In just a few years, our income has grown from £1m to over £5m. We're now expanding beyond London into areas of deprivation across the country, with ambitions to reach over 40,000 young people every week by 2031. No other sport-for-good charity in the UK has achieved scale at this level. We intend to be the first.
To get there, we need people who believe what we believe that football has the unique power to change lives. Forward, together.
Our commitment to inclusion
Our commitment to inclusion
At Bloomsbury, belonging isn't just something we create for the young people we serve it's something we live as an organisation and is embedded into core values.

We particularly welcome applications from women and people from underrepresented groups, who remain underrepresented in both the sport and charity sectors.

About Bloomsbury Football Foundation
Bloomsbury Football Foundation is a registered charity founded in 2018 and based in Camden, London, using football to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing young people today. We make football accessible to over 7,000 children and young people every week through a financial assistance model that removes the barriers of cost and targets areas of greatest deprivation, bringing together young people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities and nationalities in the process.
In just six years we've grown from a £1m to a £5m organisation, and we're now at an inflection point, expanding beyond London and building towards reaching over 40,000 young people every week by 2031. We're a fast-paced, ambitious team based out of a modern office in Camden Market, and we're committed to the personal growth of every person who joins us. If you want to do meaningful work, be given real responsibility from day one, and be part of something that no other sport-for-good charity in the UK has achieved — this is the place for you.
