The Premier League Kicks programme is a national project delivered across the UK by professional football clubs.
We use the hook of Southend United to engage with young boys and girls aged 11-19 in deprived areas across Southend through the power of sport.
Daily sessions run throughout the week, whereby young people can enjoy free football in a safe and enjoyable environment, consequently reducing crime rates and anti-social behaviour in the local community.

The Every Player Counts programme funded by the National League Trust supports our aim of increasing sports participation for all.
The programme covers a wide range of disabilities with the simple aim of getting more people involved in sport, tailored to the specific needs of the local community.
Our aim at SUCET is to have pan-disability football pathways that will enable young disabled people aged 11-19 living in South East Essex to play football and progress to the level they are able to achieve.
Strong relationships have been developed with special schools whereby our coaching staff provide lunchtime clubs and in-school PE provision including football, multi-sports and teambuilding activities.
Additionally, after school clubs, holiday camps, player visits, stadium tours, match tickets and event opportunities to young people living with pan disabilities are provided.
