Sported

Sported is a charity which, since 2008, has enabled grassroots clubs across the UK to not just to get young people active and keep them engaged but to create meaningful social impact. We exclusively support groups delivering sport and physical activity with the intention of deploying its power to transform lives and make a real impact within our communities.

Through 50 staff spread around the UK, we works annually with a network of over 3,000 local organisations that reach over a half-million members of our next generation.

Through resources, guidance, research and funding partnerships – all provided for free – we collaborate to grow their capacity and ensure long-term sustainability, delivering solutions that underpin these group’s ambitions to make a true difference.

Last year, we acted to help these incredible beacons of hope to navigate extreme cost of living pressures that threatened their existence with targeted help. We addressed the mental health crisis by upskilling coaches to offer support. And with valued partners, we injected extra resources into those working with under-represented communities to lower the barriers to participation and to ensure their lives are transformed by accessing the societal benefits available.
