Welcomm’s Journey with The Big Goal Initiative

Changing Lives through the Power of Football

At Welcomm, giving back to our community is at the heart of what we do. Our team proudly supports The Big Goal Initiative, a national movement led by the Street Soccer Foundation. The initiative uses the power of football to tackle youth homelessness and support vulnerable young people across the UK.

What is The Big Goal Initiative?

Founded in 2015, the Street Soccer Foundation is an award-winning charity dedicated to helping disadvantaged young people improve their lives through football, education and personal development.

In October 2023, the Foundation launched The Big Goal, recognised as the leading football-led project addressing youth homelessness in England. The initiative combines football tournaments with mindset training and employability workshops, helping young people build confidence, develop skills and access future opportunities.

Hear from Aidan Piper, CEO of Welcomm and Leversedge, as he shares his vision for supporting young people and the future direction of the business.

How Is Welcomm Supporting The Big Goal 2025?

The Street Soccer Foundation is one of our key charity partners that we proudly support to help homeless and vulnerable young people rebuild their lives through football, education and mindset training.

Each year, we take part in The Big Goal, a football tournament that brings together businesses from across the UK to raise funds and awareness for youth homelessness. The competition begins at a regional level, with successful teams progressing to the National Finals at St George’s Park, the home of English football. The winners then go on to represent England in the Corporate World Cup, which in 2025 was held in Morocco.

Our Welcomm Team reached the semi-finals of the 2025 National Finals, finishing third overall out of 45 teams, an incredible result that highlights our team’s determination, collaboration and shared commitment to making a difference.

Beyond the tournament, our support helps sponsor young people through the Street Soccer Foundation’s 12-week Academy Programme. This initiative combines football coaching, mindset training and employability workshops to improve participants’ confidence, wellbeing and career prospects, using sport as a vehicle for positive social change!
