Who we are:

We are the official charity of Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club. We are committed to using the power of football and the brand of Brighton & Hove Albion to deliver high-quality, accessible opportunities that improve the health and wellbeing, education and aspirations of our community.

What we do:

At Albion in the Community we believe that football is for everyone, regardless of their age, ability or background. From after school clubs and holiday soccer schools, to walking football and disability teams, we will have a football session for you.

Our health team works across Sussex to improve the health and wellbeing of people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. Together with local authorities, the NHS and third sector partners, we run a wide range of targeted health projects and initiatives throughout the county.

The disability department at Albion in the Community has been running our award-winning disability programme since 1997. We now run 30 different regular football sessions for people with a disability, which are attended by more than 250 people.
