About Us:

The Football Association (The FA) is the governing body for football in England. It is responsible for promoting and developing the game at all levels and with footballers of all abilities, from grassroots through to the professional game.

The England Football Charity (The Charity) is an independent body, founded by The FA, as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission of England and Wales (charity number 1204361).  The Charity exists to harness the passion of England Football to tackle the most pressing social challenges. The Charity will first identify issues that need immediate attention and that football is well placed to address and design targeted interventions that complement the wider football eco-system. 

By bringing together funders and supporters, The Charity will invest in collaborative and innovative programmes that are delivered by a network of existing partners and managed by a central team.

In autumn 2026, The Charity will launch its inaugural project, designed to ensure that every young person has a trusted adult who listens without judgement, encourages hope, and helps them navigate life's challenges. Between now and the EURO 2028, The Charity, in partnership with delivery partners, will upskill 500 adults within grassroots football communities to better support young people.

The Charity is still in its early stages and has been working to lay solid foundations that will allow real impact to be created. A full-time Director has been recruited to lead the charity, with support from a small board that has been recruited over time. The next step is to recruit an inspiring Chair who can support both the board and executive team to move to the next stage where funding will be distributed to our incredible delivery partners to roll out our first project. Our hope is that the newly recruited Chair will be able to support us in adding more trustees to our board to ensure that we have access to the wealth of skills and experience needed for the charity to really flourish.

We are recruiting an independent Chair who will be required to act solely in the best interests of The Charity, free from undue influence or conflicts of loyalty toward any associated bodies. They must be able to make objective decisions that prioritise the charity's specific charitable purposes.

This is a highly visible role that requires someone comfortable balancing day-to-day legal execution with longer-term thinking as the organisation continues to grow.

Alongside supporting internal stakeholders, you will also spend time building relationships across the game, including regular engagement with clubs and external partners across the country.
