Another incredible, action-packed month at the Football Fun Factory!
As always, life at the FFF is fast-paced, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our team is driven by a shared passion: using football as a vehicle to develop positive life skills as well as football skills – making football fun and accessible for children of all ages and ability levels.
Here’s a look at some of the amazing highlights from March!
EF100 Awards Success
Founders James Cutting and Jonny Martin suited up and headed down to London for the prestigious EF100 awards, joined by the ever-reliable Oli Kane (Head of Content), who captured all the action on camera! Check out the vlog here!
We were once again incredibly proud to be named among the top 100 franchises in the UK – this year climbing to an impressive 68th position.
It’s a huge step forward as we set our sights on breaking into the top 50 franchises in the future.
James and Jonny had a brilliant time networking with other inspiring businesses in the franchise community, who continue to support our journey in growing the world’s leading children’s football coaching organisation.
Inspirational Learning at the ICAP Conference
A number of our team members headed to Birmingham for the ICAP conference – a fantastic day packed with learning and motivation.
One of the standout moments was our very own James Cutting delivering a brilliant workshop on the Football Fun Factory journey, sharing how we’ve harnessed the power of social media to grow our brand and reach thousands of families across the UK.
The feedback James received was phenomenal, and it was a proud moment for the whole FFF family.
Easter Football Fun Camps Kick Off!

March also saw our superstar franchisees and Head Office team working hard to prepare for our Easter Football Fun Camps.
We’ve now kicked off camps across multiple locations, welcoming thousands of children for fun, inclusive football experiences.
Easter is such a special time at the FFF – not only for the brighter weather but for the opportunity to welcome lots of new children and families to the Football Fun Factory family.
Many of our franchisees are also proudly partnering with local councils through the HAF programme (Holiday Activities and Food programme), offering camps for children who might otherwise miss out. It’s something we’re extremely passionate about supporting.
Haven Partnership Off to a Flying Start
In March, we also completed our final round of Haven staff training, expertly delivered by James and Jonny, who certainly clocked up the miles across the country!
The partnership is off to a truly incredible start, with over 10,000 bookings for Football Fun Factory programmes made by the end of March – mind-blowing numbers that are only set to grow!
Welcoming Six New Superstar Franchisees
Last but definitely not least, we proudly welcomed six new franchisees to the Football Fun Factory family!
These passionate, enthusiastic individuals travelled from all corners of the UK to join us for a day of training, collaboration, and development ahead of their official launches in May.
It’s always such a privilege to welcome new faces who are ready to bring the Football Fun Factory to even more communities across the country.

March was an unforgettable month, and the brilliant thing is – I’m sure April will be just as amazing.
