Welcome to 4 All Foundation
4 All Foundation has grown from the spark of an idea into a thriving charity supporting people and communities across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and the surrounding areas. As our work has developed, we have taken on new hubs, built new partnerships and launched new programmes, while staying true to our original purpose: supporting community engagement, sports participation, health and wellbeing, and education and employability.
Every year, thousands of people benefit from the work of 4 All Foundation. For some, that means access to affordable holiday clubs and activities for their families. For others, it means improving their physical and emotional wellbeing, building confidence, or finding a welcoming community group that helps them feel less isolated and more connected.
As we continue to grow, we remain focused on the vision behind our name. 4 All is symbolic of our commitment to creating opportunities that are inclusive, accessible and shaped around the needs of local people. We are proud of the difference this work continues to make, and grateful to the dedicated staff, volunteers, trustees and partner organisations who help make it possible.
History of 4 All
4 All Foundation began as an offshoot of the Marches Multi-Academy Trust in 2022. At that point, it was simply the vision of a handful of people that localised provision in communities across the region could truly benefit thousands of people. The following year, we officially launched as a charity in our own right – and that’s when the vision began to flourish into a reality. In 2022, we took on the management of our first community centre, adding a second in 2023 and a third in 2025.
Since then, we have partnered with councils, companies, schools and colleges. We’ve launched holiday clubs, wellbeing groups, and much more besides. We began sponsoring and supporting North Shropshire District Association – and then in 2026, announced the Shropshire Schools’ and Colleges’ Football Association had also become part of the 4 All family.
Alongside that, our in-house team has more than quadrupled, and we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming scores of volunteers who’ve lent us their time and their dedication.
