Meet the Team
“I first came into contact with Free Kicks whilst playing for Peterborough United FC. I was incredibly touched by the enjoyment that each kid had felt from these experiences and saddened by the difficulties that they had faced in their personal lives. Their outlook and the impact of these footballing experiences inspired me and I wanted to get involved. I started to talk to Steve and Sam about how I could help take the charity forward. Sam and Steve are incredible people who continue to devote themselves to helping offer Kicks to all children in need. Please do support them and the charity as the impact on these kids is incredibly profound.”
