Our mission is to promote the wellbeing of the residents of Burdett Estate and the wider Tower Hamlets area, whether by working independently or in partnership with local people, local authorities, voluntary groups, and other organisations. We are committed to supporting disadvantaged communities through initiatives in sport, health and wellbeing, tackling poverty and community development. Burdett Estate is one of the most densely populated estates in the UK, and our work is about levelling the playing field, helping our communities win on and off the pitch.
Originally founded as a community football club in 2008, we have grown into a hub for local initiatives that aim to develop, empower and inspire our community. Our motto, “More than just a football club,” reflects our wider mission. Our projects span community outreach, football, youth engagement, education, women’s empowerment, poverty reduction, local development, community events and environmental change. Through active participation in society, our services aim to improve quality of life and better serve the residents of our area and London.
Our team is made up of local, talented, passionate, and experienced individuals- including community leaders, dedicated volunteers, and industry professionals - all committed to making a difference. From our service users and partners to our staff and management team, everyone at Burdett Foundation shares a common goal, to enrich lives and create positive change in society. We draw on our local knowledge, strong community connections, and our Circle of Life model to transform the communities we serve. Our team is here for you, united by purpose, driven by impact, and powered by the people we serve.
