Antoin Akpom Achievements Foundation

AAAF Football team match
Antoin Akpom Achievements Foundation (AAAF) is a charity set up to continue the legacy of the late Antoin Akpom, a football coach who started a community business (AAA Strike 4 Success) using arts and sports as a platform to help young people develop skills, enabling them to achieve their goals and aspirations.
The Antoin Akpom Foundation, now in its 13th year is an innovative platform managed by myself, Antoin’s mum. It enables us to capture and nurture the creativity within individuals, which allows us as a Foundation to enhance and direct their energies in a positive manner, thus developing self-esteem, self-awakening leading to self-empowerment enabling individuals to take a positive role within their society. As a means to achieve the main object to deter young people from engaging in street crime.
Thirteen years later, Antoin's vision continues through a Foundation that has now positively reached and supported at least 13,538 people since 2023 alone, reached through its projects, outreach work, community support initiatives and programmes, demonstrating the continuing growth and impact of Antoin’s legacy.

ITV INTERVIEW WITH OUR FOUNDER
Recently our founder Cheryl's had an
interview with @itvanglia now, alongside another brilliant interview with Dr Mark Prince OBE from the Kiyan Prince Foundation.
Research shows that here in our region, 71% of young people say making it more difficult to buy knives focuses on the symptom rather than the cause. 83% said they would still find ways to access weapons, and 76% want greater investment in local mental health services, sports, and social clubs.
Cheryl tells ITV that giving young people somewhere positive to spend time is the answer.
