Charity football matches for teachers
What is EduFootyAid?
#EduFootyAid is a national charity football initiative for the education community. There are already over 300 teachers playing and together we've raised over £15,000 for Mind, the mental health charity. It's open to men and women and it's free to play, so sign-up today. Games are testimonial style and take place all over the country.
#EduFootyAid is a wonderful way to make new friends in education, help raise money for mental health charities, and of course get to play some football!

The 4 hour drive from Hertfordshire was absolutely worth it. Met some great people, doubled our target and can’t wait for the next one!

EduFootyAid Highlights
Support from across the education sector
#EduFootyAid has only been made possible thanks to generous support from a growing number of companies within the education sector. We were upfront with all our sponsors, explaining that we couldn't offer much return in regards to publicity. They all answered in the same way - we are doing this to show our support for teachers and all those experiencing mental health problems. Thank you TextHelp, Pobble, Learning Ladders, Bett, Education Show, Hyve Group, Tes, BeeDigital, Matrix Sports, Kinteract, eSchools, Dunbar Education, The Literacy Shed, PE Passport, Think-IT, and Groupcall.
