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.
Our programmes target 8-9-year-olds from the UK's most deprived communities. We also engage 12 to 18-year-olds as Young Leaders to support younger children, developing their own skills, and giving back to the community simultaneously
250 children and 25 young leaders per programme.
Our vision from 2030 is to reach 145,000 deprived children.
