Unleashing the power of sport to transform lives and strengthen communities

Sported’s strategy for 2025-29 is entitled ‘Grassroots Sport Unleashed

 

It spells out how, as the UK’s largest charity supporting grassroots sport, we want to ensure every community has access to the life-changing benefits of sport – delivering vital support to the local heroes who make it all possible.

Our goals are:

  • To ensure opportunities for everyone
  • To improve health & wellbeing
  • To empower communities

To achieve this, Sported focuses on creating sustainable grassroots sports clubs, delivering high impact programmes, distributing funding, and being the source of Research and Advocacy.


By levering investment into the sector, we’ve distributed over £10 million in funding so far.


By ensuring grassroots sport is more accessible, sustainable and impactful through our network of 5000 clubs and groups, we currently reach one million young people annually.


And we are extending our work across other age groups to ensure no-one misses out on the life-changing benefits created through sport and physical activity.


Our aim is to ensure that grassroots sport organisations are:

  • More resilient
  • More inclusive
  • Achieving maximum impact

By improving health and wellbeing and creating stronger communities, we all reap the benefits.

Our ambition – with the incredible help of our partners and supporters … and our network – is to make an extraordinary difference.
