Palace for Life Foundation

We are the official charity of Premier League football club Crystal Palace and have been a core part of the South London community for over 30 years. Our aim is simple.

We use the power of football and Crystal Palace to improve lives and build stronger communities, with a focus on young people from under-supported groups who need us most.

Every year, our dedicated coaches and mentors work with over 18,000 young people to provide free physical activity, help with next steps in education, training or employment and support with mental health and crime reduction through one-to-one mentoring. Our place in the community is unique. We are a trusted partner of social services, police and local councils, delivering support and interventions they often can’t. We are welcomed into communities that are closed to many other agencies and we have the infrastructure, skills and experience to deliver safe, impactful programmes all year round.

South London is a hotbed of talent, but growing up here can be tough. We’re all about giving young people the right opportunities to transform their lives in the way they want to, powered by the unique pull of Crystal Palace.

We believe that everyone matters, irrespective of their background and beliefs, and by giving extra support to the most vulnerable, we will help create a better community and society.
