“Simplyhealth and Sported are united in their desire to see people and communities thrive. We’re delighted to be working in partnership with Simplyhealth to ensure the wellbeing of young people often living in disadvantage.

At Sported we believe that grass roots groups have a unique role to play in engaging and inspiring young people, using sport to make a positive difference to the communities they’re a part of and improving physical and mental health. But without the hard-work and passion of group leaders, coaches and volunteers, community groups simply wouldn’t exist and coronavirus has created even more challenges. Sported provide the professional and mentoring support required for these groups to survive. With a UK wide network of thousands of groups, we ensure our members have the resources they need to grow and thrive.

With Simplyhealth’s generous support we can help these extraordinary groups during this difficult time. By supporting essential activities to get back up and running, we can encourage young people to return to positive environments and help protect these groups’ futures. Simplyhealth’s donations will lead to thousands of young people being back amongst friends, engaging in healthy activities and enjoying the best of their community. Thank you for allowing that to happen.’
