Beyond Lockdown
Football Beyond Borders launches ‘Beyond Lockdown’ campaign to highlight why children missing school is a critical issue for society. During lockdown, Football Beyond Borders travelled the country, meeting young people outside their homes to discover the impact the lack of school was having. The result is a stunning photographic record of our nation’s school children through this dramatic period.
The images and quotes in the book demonstrate the incredible potential and positivity of young people; alongside their realisation of what school means to them – that school is not just about education and learning but, crucially, it is about socialising with friends and a sense of connection.
The book is available to buy from Football Beyond Borders website. As part of the book launch, for every copy of the book purchase, Football Beyond Borders will gift a copy to a secondary school.
About Football Beyond Borders
Football Beyond Borders exists to change the lives of young people. It supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who are passionate about football but disengaged at school in order to help them finish school with the skills and grades to make a successful transition into adulthood. We do this by providing long-term, intensive support, built around relationships and young people’s passions, in the classroom and beyond.
