It is with great pride that I reflect on my participation in the FOOTBALL4iMPACT project, as an Ambassador.

Through this project, I have had the privilege of engaging in a range of activities that have enriched my personal and professional growth.

My involvement has helped me to appreciate the importance of teamwork and community, and has provided me with a platform to advance my skills and knowledge.

I strongly believe that the FOOTBALL4iMPACT project has the potential to drive positive change in our community, and I am excited to see its continued expansion and success in transforming the lives of many more people.

Over the April half term, phase two of FOOTBALL4iMPACT took place, aiming to group together individuals from different socio-economic backgrounds through their love for football. Originally a CAS project, but becoming so much bigger than that to everyone involved.

I think I can speak on behalf of everyone involved in saying that we are all immensely proud to be part of such an incredible initiative and hope to see FOOTBALL4iMPACT and its core values continue to thrive as the years go on!

Over the April half term, a group of year 12s and I were able to successfully pull off phase two of FOOTBALL4iMPACT.

This project was originally started as a CAS project for the year 13 founders and has grown into something much bigger and better than what we all could have imagined. This project allowed me to engage and work together with a group of guys from the UK, from different social and economic backgrounds, in a way I never thought would be possible. Getting everyone to come together through our mutual love for football and overall ambition to improve the world allowed us to participate in a multitude of workshops: Financial Literacy, Mental Health, and Social Media, and a fun weekend of football.

Through this project, I have had the pleasure of being able to engage in numerous activities and adventures that I know will be beneficial to me later in life and have helped me grow both personally and professionally. I am incredibly proud to be a part of such a wonderful project and can't wait to continue working towards Phase Three and watching this continue to grow.
