Bloomsbury’s Women’s Coaching Pathway is built on the belief that every girl and woman in football deserves the chance to see herself reflected in a role model. This programme exists build a real route from loving the game to making an impact in the local community at grassroots level.
Community coaching is at the centre of everything we do. To us, a coach is a trusted adult, someone their players can rely on, helping them reach their full potential. This pathway has been created to ensure the cohort of women leave feeling confident to coach any child, regardless of their ability or background.
Kicking off at the beginning of 2027, this one-of-a-kind programme delivers a mix of on-pitch and off-pitch learning, bringing coaches together with a trailblazing group of coach developers who’ve shaped the game themselves.
Because football, and the young people we coach, need more women leading from the sidelines.

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.
