A trusted partner for schools

Football, music and the Big Hope courses help children build confidence, character and a sense of belonging, throughout the school year.

Three ways to partner with us

Our partnerships with schools start with a relationship, not a transaction.

Book an assembly

A one-off session to introduce what we do and why, no ongoing commitment required.

Run a fundraiser

A non-uniform day, PJ day, cake sale, or your own idea. We'll work with you to keep it aligned with your school's objectives.

Bring a programme into your school

Football mentoring, the music course, or the Big Hope course.

This is Hylands School's story

Our relationship with Hylands School began in 2021 with football, but it quickly became about much more than the game. By showing up consistently, we've built trusted relationships with young people, creating space for confidence to grow, conversations to happen and every young person to know they matter.

 

Big Love has worked hard with our Year 8 and 9 groups, helping them focus and develop positive relationships they often struggle to build elsewhere. The boys benefit greatly from positive male role models in a football environment they love.

We work around your term dates and existing commitments, whether that's a single assembly slot or a recurring booking.

We hold a strict safeguarding policy and every coach and volunteer is DBS-checked. We're happy to share our policy directly with your safeguarding lead.

Get in touch and the Big Love team will get back to you within 3-5 working days to talk through what fits your group.

Why we do this

We believe every child comes alive when they're loved, not managed, fixed, or turned into a project. It's the belief running through football, music and the Big Hope courses.
