@StMaryMagSec@RenzosRealWorld Mainstream schools funding is currently around £5,000 per student per year. The average cost of a place in AP is £33,000
95% of the students who were at risk of exclusion at the start of the year were not excluded from school after receiving support from FBB.

@StMaryMagSec@RenzosRealWorld Keeping young people in school isn't expensive.
FBB has found it costs around £1,500 of additional spend per *vulnerable* student to keep them in mainstream school.

The stories in this programme show the importance of listening deeply to young people who have endured so much during the pandemic, and supporting them through bereavement and mental health issues. Much admiration for the work of @FBeyondBorders.

An important watch to understand the impact of one of @Sport_England's amazing partners @FBeyondBorders. What FBB do is so vital for many young people like Bradley and demonstrates the power of sport to change lives

THE MOVEMENT IS GROWING 👇
As we approach a new academic year, we're going to be working with more young people than ever and are looking for talented people to join our team 🤗

The impact starts at grassroots 💪
"Sport & football in particular isn't just about what happens on the pitch"
Ahead of the Premier League returning, FBB participants Arsh & Riley travelled to Liverpool to find out how professional clubs can aid their local community. 🔴 🔵
These kits are 🔥🔥🔥
This year, our Year 3 boys programme looked at team identity. Working to understand what they stood for as a collective.
We teamed up with @Art_of_Football & @kitlocker to translate each team's identity into custom kit design and we're blown away 🙌
Education is the answer 📚
This feels more important than ever! Check out our new Gamechangers programme that celebrates Black British history that is being rolled out across our schools in London and Manchester.
Big thanks to @IanWright0 & @GilletteUK for making this possible!
Love @IanWright0 and his passion to drive change. Sport has a huge role to play in reducing all types of discrimination and great how FBB are taking on this challenge...should be right across the UK this 👇
People like @jonathanliew are the best of us. Not only is he - one of / if not the best - sports writers in the country, but he gives up that platform once in a while to young people who have a hell of a lot to say. 👏

@FBeyondBorders Two young fans Kenza Boutalbi (18) and Kian Hill (17) have written an open letter to Tracey Crouch calling for:
- Increased accessibility at football for young people
- Equal opportunity for women
- More accountability around racism & anti-discrimination
Leadership knows no age
If the purpose of the fan-led review of football governance is to help shape a better future for both fans today and future generations, @FBeyondBorders are rightfully asking why are none of the 10 panel members under 35?
