Sports Development

Enabling young Londoners to lead happy, healthy lives and create change for themselves and their community through sport and physical activity. 

We support our member youth and community organisations to provide young people with Sport For Participation and Sport For Development opportunities. We believe that every young person is designed to move. Working with and through youth and community organisations, we ensure all young people receive the sport and physical activity experience that is most impactful for them. 

We know that sport and physical activity is a source of hope for young Londoners.

By combining the power of youth work and sport, and working with grassroots community organisations across the city, we tackle the inequalities faced by young people. This improves their physical and mental wellbeing, and gives them the skills and experiences they need, now and for their future success.
