The Albion Foundation uses the power of football to make a measurable, positive difference, raising aspirations, growing and fulfilling potential in local people of all ages, gender, ethnicity and socio-economic backgrounds. We pride ourselves on growing our own staff to live by our core values, be happy in their work and be proud to deliver the highest quality provision in three key areas of Education & Engagement, Sport Development & Disability Sport. We are recognised locally and nationally for our valued partnerships which tackle key issues and truly inspire our participants to achieve. The quality of our work and the impact we achieve enables us to create surplus funds which are reinvested to "give back" and provide more opportunities to change lives for the most deprived, as we connect West Bromwich Albion Football Club to its community. We employ 47 full-time and 93 part-time staff, supplemented by more than 140 volunteers whose aim is to "Inspire to Achieve" on a daily basis. Our strategic principles are as follows: 1- To make a difference and raise aspirations. 2- To connect West Bromwich Albion Football Club to its local community. 3- To grow our people and participants. We have a clear vision for the future of the Foundation where we strive to be the best deliverer of education and engagement, sport development and disability sport activities in the country.
