Premier League Kicks
Premier League Kicks, funded by the Premier League through the Premier League Foundation, uses the power of football and sport to inspire young people to reach their potential in some of the most under-served communities in England and Wales.
Launched in season 2006/07, in partnership with the Metropolitan Police, the programme supports young people in regular, positive and fun activity, while helping to create stronger, safer, more inclusive communities. Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) work closely with the Metropolitan Police on Premier League Kicks delivery.
CACT are one of 93 club charities supported to deliver Premier League Kicks in season 2026/27.
Nationally, more than 650,000 young people have participated in Premier League Kicks football and multi-sport sessions across England and Wales, and more than one million hours of sessions have been delivered to date.
To find out more about the national programme, please visit premierleague.com.
As part of CACT's Premier League Kicks provision, there are extended opportunities for all participants. For instance, CACT's Premier Kicks participants have been given the opportunity to represent Charlton in national and regional tournaments, which create opportunities for thousands of young people to come together and represent their clubs on the pitch in a fun, competitive environment.
Charlton first-team players are also on hand to visit sessions on special occasions, with forward Matty Godden's appearing at a CACT Premier League Kicks session alongside his son.

Sarah, whose daughter Gracie has attended CACT's Premier League Kicks sessions, while also being recognised as Charlton's Premier League Champion, said:
“The Premier League Kicks programme and CACT’s staff have helped me get my little girl back. I’ve seen her come back into her own and be the girl I lost a few years ago because of her anxiety. Seeing her recognised for her dedication, passion and commitment to Premier League Kicks is amazing.”
