England's Football Association is searching for its next charity partner, to be in place by the beginning of the 2021-22 season.

Following partnerships with the likes of Street League, Teenage Cancer Trust, Breast Cancer Care, the Bobby Moore Fund and Heads Together over the last 11 years, the FA is looking for a new title charity partner to work in collaboration and, according to its website, “harness the power of football to create an impactful legacy across the community”.

“We're looking for a partner with national reach which is aligned with football and is either committed to improving mental and physical health or passionate about youth, education and social inclusion," read thefa.com.
