Together we can change lives

The Rio Ferdinand Foundation was established to create opportunities for young people to attain the skills, build networks, and access pathways to achieve their potential in life.

From 10 years of delivering frontline projects across the country, we know that young people, regardless of their background, have the aspirations, ambitions, and talents to build successful and meaningful careers, establish groundbreaking businesses, and contribute to building a vibrant and more equitable society. This is why we deliver projects that develop young people’s confidence and wellbeing, interpersonal skills, education, and vocational training and work experience over the past decade - to utilise our knowledge and networks and invest in young people and our collective futures.

Over the past decade, the Foundation has delivered several impactful partnerships with businesses across the UK that have met a number of needs, and we are so very grateful for their support.

We invest in young people, providing support, mentoring, workshops and pathways that boost young people’s resilience, and enhance their employability. Through our interventions, young people develop their interpersonal and soft skills, which help to set them apart in today’s job market.

At the Rio Ferdinand Foundation , we empower young people to personally develop, secure meaningful careers and unleash their potential. We are committed to dispelling limiting beliefs, rebalancing equality, and giving young people a voice.

With your help we can help more young people. Get involved today.
