FBB Launch "Move to Zero Manchester" with Phil Foden & Ella Toone

We’ve been working with the incredible team at Football Beyond Borders (FBB) for a number of years now. And we’ve been lucky enough to get involved with them on numerous projects, including bringing some of their young people up to Sheffield to create their own football shirts. We guided them through the entire process, all the way from design to printing and marketing.

Recently, we were in attendance alongside FBB, JD Sports, Nike and some very special guests in Moss Side, Manchester at the opening of a unique new football pitch.

“Move to Zero Manchester”, the brand new all-weather football pitch was created using recycled Nike footwear.

Moss Side has always been a breeding ground for talented young ballers. This project aims to keep that going long into the future by providing some of the most disadvantaged kids in Manchester with a state of the art facility. 

To add even more excitement and inspiration to the event, Manchester-based England players Ella Toone and Phil Foden were also in attendance. With Foden even trying his hand at printing his own t-shirt.

The event was organised by Youth Beyond Borders, which is the creative arm of FBB. It featured workshops, food stalls, tonnes of football related activities and even free haircuts from an expert barber.

FBB continues to be a force for good by providing young people from deprived socio-economic backgrounds with experiences and opportunities that they otherwise may not be able to access. The ultimate aim is to improve outcomes and help them reach their potential. To find out more about their work visit footballbeyondborders.org.
