The Prince's Trust
Football is one of the most powerful ways that The Prince's Trust can engage with 'hard to reach' young people across the country. We are extremely proud of our long term partnership with the PFA, which harnesses the huge youth appeal of the game and motivates young people to seek out the opportunities we offer, to help them transform their lives.

The Prince's Trust Football Initiative is a long term partnership with the FA Premier League, the Football Foundation and the Professional Footballers' Association who have jointly donated over £5.8 million to The Trust since the scheme was first piloted in 1997.

With the support of 63 Premier and Football League clubs, 10,000 young people have benefited from the programme. The 12-week personal development programme (based on The Trust's Team Programme), enables 16-25 year olds - the majority unemployed - to develop their confidence, motivation and skills through teamwork in the community.

Oxfam
Oxfam is delighted to be working with the PFA to achieve our mission: “To work with others to overcome poverty and suffering.”

The two organisations have been clubbing together since Christmas 2004, appealing for all professional players to donate to Oxfam education programmes. In 2004, the appeal raised enough to equip 70 schools in a very poor area of Tanzania with books, and teachers’ resource centres. Due to the generosity of professional footballers, thousands of poor children will now get a decent education.

The Bobby Moore Fund
The PFA has recently supported the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK by sponsoring ex-Newcastle player, John Beresford, £1000 to take part in Project Brazil in aid of the charity. John was part of a group renovated a community school in Brazil and also built a football pitch in memory of Bobby. The trip raised over £100,000 for bowel cancer research. To take part in the Fund's next Project Brazil (7 - 16 October), please visit www.bobbymoorefund.org.

Bobby Moore died from bowel cancer in 1993, inspiring Stephanie Moore MBE to set up the Bobby Moore Fund. The Fund is part of Cancer Research UK, the UK's leading charity dedicated to research into the causes, treatment and prevention of cancer. Since the Fund was set up, over £4 million has been raised. The Fund not only raises money for much needed research, but also increases the profile of bowel cancer and informs people about the symptoms of the disease.

Bowel cancer is the most common cause of cancer death after lung cancer. However, bowel cancer is highly curable if caught at an early stage. Unfortunately, the symptoms of bowel cancer often go unrecognised, or there may be no obvious symptoms early on, and the cancer progresses to an advanced stage before it is diagnosed.

Truce International
Truce International is a campaign which aims to use
strategic partnerships for peace. It is funded by sponsorship and a 100% of monies raised goes to nominated charities. Truce is a link-pin organisation set up to manage strategic alliances in the pursuit of world peace.

Truce was originally created under the patronage of Sven Goran Eriksson and Nancy Dell’Olio as a response to the post-millennium crisis in human affairs and the loss of human security around the world. The inspiration for Truce International came from the legendary First World
War Christmas truce football match when German and British soldiers came out
of their trenches on Boxing Day 1914 for a spontaneous kickabout.

Truce would like to thank the PFA for supporting Truce International and it's campaigns. Through partnerships such as this Truce can ensure that the International Kick A Ball for Peace campaign can be a success on the 21st September 2006. See the Truce newsletter and website www.truce.net for further information...

Children Today – PFA Borneo Cup
22 June – 1 July 2007
The PFA is once again proud to be working with Children Today to stage the second PFA Borneo Cup, and is calling for people to raise money to travel to Borneo and compete in a series of exciting jungle challenges. With the aim of raising over £100,000 from the event, the PFA has recruited football legends to lead teams and battle it out for the Borneo Cup.

The team captains who have volunteered their time and support are Neville Southall (ex Everton), Alan Kennedy (ex Liverpool), Peter Nicholson (ex Bolton Wanderers) and Simon Garner (ex Blackburn Rovers). Each of them, along with their teams of six will be pit against each other in a series of challenging events, including mountain biking along jungle paths, climbing South East Asia’s highest peak, raft racing and abseiling. Along the route, they will learn jungle survival skills, eat off the land, sleep under the stars and raise thousands of pounds to support the work of national charity Children Today.

Children Today provides grants for vital, life-changing equipment for disabled children and young people all over the UK. It is the only charity in the UK that does so regardless of the child's condition, and that gives grants to help children and young adults up to the age of 25. The PFA Borneo Cup target of £100,000 would enable Children Today to help many more young people with disabilities to live a life of greater freedom.
