Progression Empowerment Enjoyment

We inspire young people to be the best version of themselves through the transformative power of sport

Who we 
are 

Our journey began in 2019 with professional footballer Ben Osborn and former teammate Jack Andrews, driven by a passion to inspire young people through the power of sport.  Starting with football coaching, we quickly saw the transformative power of sport and expanded into mentoring and education, rebranding as EFD Sport & Education in 2022.

​

As a Social Enterprise, we partner with schools and work within various educational settings to maximise the potential of our learners, using our unique and impactful mentoring interventions to inspire and create positive change. Guided by our Progression, Empowerment and Enjoyment philosophy, we help our young people to progress to fulfil their potential, feel empowered to achieve their dreams and enjoy the journey of becoming the best version of themselves.

'' We couldn't be happier with the work that EFD are doing at West Park. EFD have become a valued part of the West Park team and they have really made an impact with the students on the programme. I have no doubt that the relationship with EFD will develop in the months and years to come''
