Story

Support our 12-Hour Football Marathon for Tackle!

Our team: Chumani, May, Fran, Holly, Emily, Anisah, Stella, Saoirse, Sharon and Liv.

This summer, we’re putting our love of football to the ultimate test by taking part in one of Tackle’s Football Marathons – an epic 12-hour tournament, where we’ll play between 20 and 25 matches in one day!

It’s going to be exhausting, but every minute will be worth it because we’re raising funds for Tackle, an incredible charity that uses football to transform lives in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Who are we?

South West Saints FC, founded in April 2024, is a women’s football club based in South West London. Driven by a desire for greater visibility and recognition, and to move women's football out of the shadows of the men's game, we are committed to showcasing our players and celebrating all their achievements, no matter how big or small.

Why are we doing this?

Football isn’t just a game—it’s a powerful tool for change. Tackle harnesses the universal language of football to educate and empower young people about HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). By delivering life-saving information and services directly on football pitches, Tackle is helping communities break down stigma, prevent new infections, and ensure young people have access to the health support they need.

Your support can make a difference!

We need your help to keep us running, tackling, and scoring for 12 hours straight! Every donation will go towards:

⚽ Funding Tackle’s football-based health education programs

⚽ Providing HIV testing and access to contraception

⚽ Training local coaches to deliver vital health messages through sport

How you can help

✅ Donate – Every pound you give pushes us through another match and supports an amazing cause.

✅ Share – Spread the word to friends, family, and football lovers!

✅ Cheer us on – Follow our progress and send us your messages of encouragement.

Thank you for your support!
