Non-Verbal Child Begins Speaking After Amazing Charity Experience in New Film

Louis has Down Syndrome and, up until a few years ago, was completely non-verbal - but that all changed thanks to the Free Kicks Foundation.

Tell Me More

The Free Kicks Foundation is a charity whose aim is to provide football-related activities for ill, bereaved and disadvantaged children. They connect kids with their favourite football clubs and, among other things, give them the chance to meet their favourite players.

What Else?

Since being a mascot through the Free Kicks Foundation, Louis began talking when before he was non-verbal, showing just how much of a positive impact work like this can have.

Louis’ story is told in the feel-good film, ‘Loving Football, Helping Children’, which has been entered into the Smiley Charity Film Awards.
