Our Ambassadors amplify Sported’s mission by supporting our work and the groups we serve, using their profile to spotlight grassroots sport and the challenges that young people and local organisations face.
Through visiting clubs or talking about the importance of physical activity in creating change, our Ambassadors work closely with us to showcase our aims.
