What We Do

We show children, young people and communities that with the right belief and support they can achieve great things and thrive.

We are a platform for social change; connecting a diverse community of stakeholders to create sustainable networks that help children and young people from deprived communities. Our programmes instil self-belief, increasing activity levels, improving mental wellbeing and bringing, (often fractured) communities together in new and engaging ways.

How We Do It

Co-Create

We recruit primary & secondary schools, local sports clubs and volunteers from geographic areas of high deprivation best aligned with our funding partner(s).

Pre-festival training is delivered for Team Spirit, with options for nutrition and mental wellbeing sessions. We also train local teenagers as Young Leaders to deliver festivals, building confidence and employability skills, whilst gaining leadership experience and qualifications.

Festival

An epic day of fun for all, introducing 200 children to a range of locally available sports where the biggest trophy on the day is for Team Spirit.

Under the direction of SportInspired, the Young Leaders, volunteers and local sports providers work together to help primary school children to find a sport they love, helping the Young Leaders to shine.

Legacy

To convert the inspiration achieved at the festival into ongoing sports participation for the primary school pupils, we fund and set up school and community-based sports clubs with local sports providers.

By instilling purpose and belief in our Young Leaders who were previously disengaged, we help them to be at the heart of building a community that everyone can really feel a part of.
