Launching September 2026
The THA Foundation is the next step in our mission to make a positive difference through sport, mentoring and community support.
Launching in September 2026, the THA Foundation will work with schools, children and local communities across Leeds and Sheffield to provide opportunities, support and positive experiences.
Our aim is simple: to help children grow in confidence, improve wellbeing and create brighter futures.
What is the THA Foundation?
The THA Foundation will use sport and mentoring to support children both in and out of school.
We know that not every child needs the same support. Some children need help building confidence. Some need support with behaviour, wellbeing or friendships. Others simply need somewhere positive to belong.
The THA Foundation will provide safe, supportive and engaging opportunities where children can develop both personally and socially.
What We Will Offer
One-to-one and small group mentoring to help children build confidence, resilience and positive behaviours.
A positive start to the school day with games, activities and support before lessons begin.
Structured lunchtime activities to help children stay active, build friendships and enjoy school.
Fun and engaging sessions after school, helping children stay active and develop new skills.
Activities and sessions within local communities to create positive opportunities outside of school.
Why We Are Launching The Foundation
At THA, we believe football and sport can do much more than improve skills.
They can help children:
- Build confidence
- Improve wellbeing
- Develop social skills
- Feel part of something
- Learn important life skills
The THA Foundation is being created because we want to make a bigger difference to more children and families.
Who The Foundation Will Support
The THA Foundation will work with:
- Primary schools & Secondary schools
- Children aged 8–18
- Families
- Local communities
- Children who may need extra support
We want to create opportunities for every child, regardless of their background or ability.
Our Values
Everything the THA Foundation does will be built around the same values that run through THA Football Centres:
- Family values
- Respect
- Hard work
- Positivity
- Fairness
- Professionalism
We want every child to feel supported, included and valued.
Launching September 2026
The THA Foundation is currently being developed and will launch officially in September 2026.
