Trust joins forces with The Football Club Social Alliance ...
We cannot wait to get involved in our first project and make a real difference."
Martino Chevannes
QPR are proud to announce an exciting new partnership with The Football Club Social Alliance, joining forces with a network of European football clubs to help some of the world’s most disadvantaged children.
Together they will help educate young people as qualified football coaches and role models for underprivileged children, inspiring future generations to become socially engaged in their community.
Martino Chevannes, QPR in the Community Trust manager, told http://www.qpr.co.uk: “We feel very privileged for Queens Park Rangers Football Club to be part of The Football Club Social Alliance.
“We cannot wait to get involved in our first project and make a real difference.”
The partnership follows on from the Trust’s work overseas with Premier Skills, which uses football as a tool to engage with and develop the skills of young people across 15 countries.
Chevannes added: “From going on these trips before we’ve seen what life-changing experiences these can be and the difference they make to both children and adults alike.”
“The Alliance share similar values to the Club and will build on the good work we are already doing to change people’s lives and inspire young people to achieve.”
Since launching in 2007, the foundation’s year-long coaching education programmes in Europe, Asia and Africa have reached more than 6,900 disadvantaged children and young people.
So far 161 young women and men have been trained to become young coaches, arming them with the skills and know-how to conduct their own activities for disadvantaged children in their communities and organisations.
The Alliance’s work can be seen in war-torn regions across the globe including projects in Uganda, Palestine, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Kosovo.
Within its mission, the Football Club Social Alliance aims to:
Educate young people worldwide to become qualified football coaches and role models for children
Reach thousands of children and youth in difficult circumstances through football and with the help of educated young coaches
Teach children positive values such as mutual respect, solidarity and teamwork
Promote disability football for children and adolescents
"It is great to see QPR joining The Football Club Social Alliance,” Tim Vine, Head of Public Affairs at the Premier League, said.
“The club have a long history of delivering innovative grassroots projects and this will now give them the chance to share their experiences with other professional clubs from across Europe as they work together on projects in developing nations around the world.
"QPR's staff have played a big part in our Premier Skills project, helping train hundreds of new community coaches all over the world.”
“I look forward to seeing the club make a similarly positive impact on anything they undertake with the Football Club Social Alliance."
In coordination with the Scort Foundation, QPR in the Community Trust links up with the Alliance from the end of 2012.
The R’s become the first Premier League side to commit to the Alliance, joining the likes of FC Basel 1893, SV Werder Bremen, Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Hapoel Tel-Aviv and FK Austria Wien.
