We have identified four main issues for disadvantaged children and young people: There are substantial barriers to regular sports participation and mainstream sport isn’t always accessible to those with SEND. The attainment gap is getting wider and disadvantaged students are missing out on enrichment activities. It’s not always a level playing field for young athletes. And there are many marginalised young people not getting the support they need to move into employment.

We have designed a set of four programmes to provide opportunities and help children and young people to reach their potential: 1. Which provides access to regular activity and further opportunities so children can experience the benefits of sport 2. Extra tuition clubs in core subjects leading to enrichment activities for students who need additional support 3. Support for talented young athletes who deserve the chance but lack the resources 4. Training and education as a pathway to employment
