Description

The Real Madrid Foundation works in the United Kingdom in collaboration with the Kinetic Foundation, a local organisation created in 2012 with the aim of providing opportunities to young people through football.

The socio-sports school is located in Croydon in South London, one of the most populated municipalities and the one with the greatest social and ethnic diversity, where 1 in 5 children under sixteen live under the poverty line and where 1 in 4 minors are overweight.

The project uses football as a way to attract young people and through the methodology of the Real Madrid Foundation to promote in them the positive values of sport with the ultimate aim of bringing about changes in their perception and attitude towards their studies, school attendance, professional aspirations and employment. In addition to the training sessions, a study and support space is provided where participants feel safe, have the opportunity to solve problems and learn in an environment without prejudice.
