At Air IT, we believe in using our platform for good, and our commitment to ESG initiatives is at the heart of everything we do. With two of our five ESG pillars dedicated to Charity and Social responsibility, we’re proud to take the next step in our efforts to support youth homelessness by participating in The Big Goal 2025.
What is The Big Goal?
The Big Goal is more than just a corporate football tournament, it uses the power of football to raise awareness and drive change for young people experiencing homelessness. The 5-a-side tournament brings together technology businesses from across the UK, to compete for the title of National Champion. This event supports the remarkable Street Soccer Foundation and their mission to help young people through football-led programmes.
And there’s even more at stake, the overall winners of The Big Goal 2025 will have the incredible opportunity to represent England at the Corporate World Cup in Morocco this October!
Air IT takes the pitch
We’re excited to announce that we’re entering two teams into the regional finals of The Big Goal 2025. This isn’t just about football, it’s a chance to come together, have some fun, and support a great cause. Whether our colleagues are experienced footballers or just want to take part for fun, this is a great opportunity for us to get involved and make a positive impact. We’ll be sharing updates along the way, so stay tuned as we take on the competition.
Here’s when and where we’ll be playing:
- South Team: Brentford FC – Friday 11 April
- North Team: Sheffield Wednesday – Friday 25 April
At Air IT, we’re passionate about making a difference, and The Big Goal 2025 is a great way to combine teamwork, sport, and making a difference. By taking part, we’re not only raising awareness of youth homelessness but actively supporting initiatives that provide real opportunities for young people in need.
It’s great to see our colleagues getting involved in such an important cause, and I’m looking forward to cheering on the teams – both on and off the pitch!

Our social impact
The Big Goal isn’t just about football, it’s about making a difference. In 2024, The Big Goal helped sponsor 462 young people through Street Soccer Academy programmes, providing coaching and mentoring to those in need. With the support of businesses like ours, The Big Goal has created an outstanding social impact, helping to tackle youth homelessness and create positive change.
This year, through our sponsorship and participation, we’re proud to play our part in this incredible initiative we’ll continue to support these vital initiatives and work towards a future where more young people have the opportunities they deserve.
We’ll be sharing updates on our progress and experience throughout The Big Goal 2025. Follow us on LinkedIn to keep up with our journey and see how our teams get on!
