Football Beyond Borders

Our vision is of an education system where every young person has a trusted adult by their side throughout secondary school.

[Football Beyond Borders @FBeyondBorders]

Proud to be part of the coalition launching the #LostBoysTaskforce today, chaired by Paul Barber OBE.

We’re calling on govt to back a #TrustedAdultGuarantee training 10,000 trusted adults so no young person is left behind.

Bringing our young people into the world of officiating 🏁

A special day with @FA_PGMOL introducing our North West year 10 cohort to the world of officiating

From whistle drills to the VAR booth, top level officials supported our young people through an incredible day ❤️

An amazing day with @FA_PGMOL!

🤝 We teamed up with @FBeyondBorders for our latest Breaking Barriers event, delivering an exciting day of learning in Manchester.

As the first event in the series delivered in partnership with a charity, it highlighted the pathways into officiating while giving young people the chance to learn directly from role models in the professional game 💪

6/ At FBB, we know that when boys have the right culture, connections & role models, they don’t just catch up—they thrive.

[Football Beyond Borders @FBeyondBorders]

1/ On Monday night, we attended the Richard Dimbleby Lecture, where @GarethSouthgate spoke powerfully about what boys need to thrive:

🔹 A positive culture
🔹 Genuine opportunities for connection
🔹 The chance to develop their identities around belief & resilience.

5/ And if you work with young people, the Education section (pages 21-33) of the "Lost Boys" report is a must-read 📖 🔗 https://t.co/Z19E0Ok5Dl
