About Us
We exist to break down the barriers holding people back. Whether it’s helping a young person find confidence through sport, supporting a family in crisis or bringing dignity and comfort at the end of life, we’re there – wherever we’re needed most. This is more than charity. It’s legacy. It’s about giving everyone — especially those with the least — a fair shot at hope, dignity and opportunity.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a a society where no child or adult is left behind, especially in the moments that matter most. So, why now?


1 in 3 children lives in poverty
1 in 5 children has a probable mental health disorder
1 in 4 people at end of life face poverty
Hate crime and exclusion are rising

JT’s Why
John Terry’s personal commitment to helping children and families facing adversity is at the heart of the Foundation. From the power of sport to the compassion of care, everything we do reflects that deep sense of 
purpose.
