Against the backdrop of racism and poverty in the 1980s Church St, a dedicated group of volunteers, led by the vision of an 18-year-old Mesba Ahmed, embarked on a journey that would change countless lives. They set out to create a football team, not just for themselves, but for the local Bangladeshi community, a community that had been underserved and marginalised for far too long.
Almost forty years on, that humble initiative has blossomed into the award-winning charitable organisation today that we proudly call London Tigers.
Our journey is measured not just in years but in lives touched and transformed. We estimate that over 20,000 individuals have been impacted by our work, including participants, volunteers, and employees. Each person represents a story of hope, determination, and progress.
