PROJECT DESCRIPTION

4.1 million children in the UK are living in poverty. 40% of these children are overweight, they are three times more likely to suffer from their mental health, and 81% don't participate in any sports clubs at all. Our sports programmes empower these children to have fun and believe they can achieve anything. They get the opportunity to try a range of brand-new sports, and introduce their favorite as part of their routine for at least 20 weeks, aiming to make life-long changes.
