Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

---

At The England Football Charity, we believe in the power of sports to unite and empower individuals, communities and society. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability or background, feels valued and respected. Our dedication to equity, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) extends across all facets of our organisation, from the programs we support to our internal culture.

We actively strive to create and support opportunities that break down barriers, promote fairness and celebrate the unique contributions of individuals from diverse backgrounds. We prioritise building a culture that champions equality and embraces the richness of perspectives, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued.

Through our grants, we seek to actively address disparities and provide accessible pathways for underrepresented groups to participate, learn and grow from the benefits that football can provide. We commit to continuous learning and improvement, regularly reviewing our practices, policies and procedures to ensure they reflect our values of inclusivity and equality.

We stand united in our dedication to fostering an environment that ensures those that can benefit most are able thrive, excel and find a sense of belonging through the transformative power of sports.
