What is the big goal?
Changing Lives
Through Football
The Big Goal is a national movement using football to change lives.
Powered by the Street Soccer Foundation, the campaign initiative brings together UK companies as members of The Big Goal in order to sponsor the places of vulnerable and disadvantaged young people affected by homelessness, hardship, and unemployment.
Sponsored young people are recruited onto the Street Soccer Foundation’s nationally acclaimed personal development programme, the ‘Street Soccer Academy’ – the No.1 football-led project tackling youth homelessness in the UK.
All young people joining the Academy programme do so in a safe space, and build their confidence, resilience, self-belief and aspirations to achieve better future prospects.
Together, Changing Lives through Football.

Why THE BIG GOAL EXISTS
Every year, thousands of young people in the UK face homelessness and lack opportunities to break free from cycles of poverty. The Big Goal was created to change that.
By combining football’s universal appeal with corporate partnership, we deliver Street Soccer Academies that provide young people with essential life skills, confidence, and pathways to employment, education, and stability.
Our mission is simple: to help eradicate youth homelessness.
