We are the Club’s award-winning charitable body.
Our role involves creating job opportunities, encouraging enterprise and innovation, promoting social cohesion and enhancing life skills for the communities that we serve across Haringey, Enfield, Waltham Forest and Barnet.
We do this by providing a comprehensive range of sports, health, training, and education programmes based on our belief that engagement through sport can result in far more than just developing sports skills. It can harness a sense of mutual respect and trust, widen horizons, raise aspirations and provide opportunities for members of the community regardless of their race, sex, age or ability.
By working with a wide range of partners, including central and local government departments, schools, colleges, businesses, and charitable trusts, to design and deliver our programmes we have been successful in making a positive difference to the lives of our residents.
“There is something for everyone, whatever their age or ability, and we have a goal that that every Haringey resident will be no more than 15 minute walk from free weekly organised activity”
Sarah Ebanja, CEO Tottenham Hotspur Foundation
Tottenham is on the rise

Percy House opens its doors
Percy House is a prominent 18th Century building on Tottenham High Road, now the new home of the Foundation, giving local people one-stop access to vocational training and job opportunities from a range of employers connected to the Club.
A £1.8m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and match funding from the Club has funded the full restoration of the former townhouse and secured its long-term future in the area.
Percy House is now a major community enterprise, employment and skills hub located at the heart of the regeneration of North Tottenham.
It will deliver over 95,000 hours of community development, health, enterprise, education and sports programs every year to those living in the Club’s local area.
We have also ensured that the rich history of Tottenham is passed on to future generations, with the instatement of new Heritage Ambassadors, who along with the support of local historians, to deliver outreach sessions in schools and community venues.
