The Albion Foundation is a leading charity that works in partnership with the West Bromwich Albion Football Club to make a difference in the communities they serve. His daughters, Olivia and Evie play for the West Bromwich Albion Girls Centre of Excellence. The Girls Centre of Excellence is just part of the great work The Albion Foundation does in the area.  

The Albion Foundation’s work has three main areas of focus:

• Sport for all – providing access to football and other sports for children and young people in the community.
• Education & Inclusion – our Foundation school works with some of the hardest to reach young people struggling with mainstream education. We re-engage these young people back in to education, develop their skills and prepare them for their next steps in education, employment and training.
• Disability Sport – our disability sports programmes provides our disabled communities the opportunity to participate in sporting activities from entry level.
