Alana Williams: Participant/Entrepreneur

The Edge of the Box Club supports people in our wider community start and build their own businesses, as well as creating important networking opportunities.

The programme is unique to Chelsea Football Club and takes place once every month at Stamford Bridge. The Edge of the Box Club brings together job seekers, start-ups and trading companies to network, develop their ideas and learn.

Alana Williams, who first attended the programme after starting up a new beauty business, has thanked Chelsea FC Foundation for the opportunities we have provided her.

‘I think the Edge of the Box Club is very special and unique. I’ve never had that much support from my local team, but Chelsea have been amazing. I’ve had a number of opportunities thanks to this programme.’

‘I can’t speak highly enough of the programme and of all of the staff members. They truly, truly have helped me. From the Google sessions to the general networking, it’s just such a fantastic programme and it just shows what a real community club Chelsea is.’
