About Bloomsbury Football
Bloomsbury Football is a registered charity using the power of football to change the game for young people. Through our programmes, we provide access to high-quality football to thousands of children across London every week.
We’re scaling faster than any other sport-for-good charity in the UK, building a sustainable model that blends charitable fundraising with revenue-generating football programmes. Our goal is to ensure that every child can experience the transformative power of the game, and we’re on track to impact over 20,000 young people by 2028.
About the Role
The Partnerships Lead will play a key role in growing Bloomsbury Football’s partnerships income stream in line with our 2028 goals, working closely with the Partnerships & Philanthropy Manager and Director of Fundraising.
Corporate partnerships currently generate £1 million of our £3.5 million annual fundraised income — a £600,000 increase year-on-year — reflecting the huge potential in this area.
The postholder will be a confident communicator and natural relationship-builder, delivering exceptional account management while actively securing new partnerships. They will steward a diverse portfolio of partners, from global brands to fast-growth businesses, ensuring outstanding service, strategic alignment, and inspiring opportunities.

The best football experience in London!
Bloomsbury Football Foundation uses the power of football to improve the lives of young people in London.
We offer sustainable programmes that support active lifestyles, promote positive impacts and pursue full potentials.
Social Cohesion
Educational separations and inequalities in the UK have led to a divided landscape for young people. We aim to bring children from different socio-economic backgrounds back together, through football.
Equality of Opportunity
We provide the opportunity for every child to experience a professional environment, with the highest calibre coaches and facilities in Central London. Those that can afford to, support those that cannot. We are reliant on the generosity of businesses, individuals, and grant-giving organisations to fund financially-assisted places. No child should grow up without the sense of belonging and excitement that sport can offer.
Physical and Mental Wellbeing
At Bloomsbury, we take the physical and mental wellbeing of young people seriously. High levels of obesity, a lack of physical activity in schools, and a lack of facilities and funding for youth sport, worry us. Children enjoy taking part in our engaging and exciting programmes, all of which involve high intensity exercise, the cornerstone of fitness.
Sporting Excellence
We pursue sporting excellence in everything we do. We provide and uphold the highest level of coaching and facilities to allow young people to reach the highest level of achievement. We want every child inspired to accomplish their aims, whether it's kicking a ball for the first time, or signing for a Premier League club. From their first goals to their life goals, we're here to support them.
