Paypal And Lionesses Team Up For Christmas Donation Drive
PayPal has teamed up with the England Lionesses and their charity partner, Football Beyond Borders (FBB), to shine a light on people who go above and beyond this Christmas.
Following their 2019 ‘Gift of Football’ campaign with Nike, which saw PayPal donate £100,000 to FBB, the payment platform has again teamed up with the charity to support young people from disadvantaged backgrounds with the help of the national women’s team.
The £100,000 donation from last year’s campaign enabled FBB to run girls-only sessions in schools as part of the national curriculum for the first time. There are now 15 programmes up and running with more in the pipeline for 2021.
For this year’s campaign, England internationals Steph Houghton, Fran Kirby, Beth Mead and Ellie Roebuck reflected on key figures in their life through a short film (below).
Who has gone above and beyond to help you? Our @Lionesses and young players from @FBeyondBorders tell us who has had a big impact on their journey so far.

The players focus on those who have gone the extra mile to help get them to where they are today.
The partnership will also allow PayPal users to set FBB as their ‘favourite charity’. They will then be given the option to donate via the ‘Give at Checkout’ functionality.
