Alive and Kicking

At Alive and Kicking, we believe a football can make a difference throughout its lifecycle. We’re the world’s only not-for-profit football manufacturer and our ethically produced footballs empower and strengthen communities in a number of different ways – creating access to ethical jobs, play and vital health education. This is achieved through our strategy to MAKE.PLAY.LIVE.

MAKE

Our ethical footballs power change in local communities right from their production, creating jobs for people from communities facing disadvantage, ranging from ball manufacturing and marketing to sales and finance.

PLAY

Through strategic partnerships and money generated from ball sales, we support community and sports organisations across our vast, international network. Our ball donations help address inequality of access in sport and allow local communities to reap the physical and mental benefits of play.

LIVE

A football can do more. The profits from our football sales and the partnerships we forge help fund the training of local community coaches and school teachers to deliver vital health education through sport. Football is a powerful way to help meet the serious health challenges that local communities face.
