Empowering Communities Through Sport: Our Mission and Vision
Who We Are
Creating Opportunities for Growth, Connection, and Equality Through Sport!
Welcome to Birmingham United Foundation, a Community Interest Company committed to transforming lives through the power of sport. By providing opportunities to engage in sports, we can unite communities, foster personal growth, and address some of society’s greatest inequalities. Through our programs, we aim to create a supportive environment where every person can thrive, build lasting friendships, and develop essential life skills.
With Birmingham City Council facing bankruptcy, resulting in cuts to youth services coupled with the cost of living crisis, organisations like ourselves are needed now more than ever.

— Our Vision
We aim for a future where every young person in Birmingham has equal access to the physical, mental, and character-building benefits of sport. Our vision is a fair society where no child is left behind in achieving their full potential.
Addressing Inequality and Empowering Youth
Recent data shows significant health and social inequalities across the city. Many people from low socio-economic groups are not meeting physical activity guidelines and there are rising levels of youth unemployment, youth crime and a lack of educational attainment, highlighting the urgent need for supportive programs. Our initiatives provide safe spaces and positive outlets for young people, fostering personal growth and unity during these challenging times.
We envision a fair and equitable society where all communities can thrive. Our goal is for every person in Birmingham to have access to the physical, mental, and character-building benefits that sport provides, ensuring no one is left behind.
Join us in our mission to make a significant impact on the lives of young people!
