Access Sport

We are proud to be principal corporate partner to Access Sport. Since 2013 the Foundation has supported Access Sport, a dynamic UK national charity that gives children and young people, particularly in disadvantaged areas, access to a wide range of quality local sport, harnessing the power of sport to tackle social exclusion, inactivity and obesity.

Access Sport believes every child should have access to the developmental and health benefits of sport and every community should have a thriving, inclusive and sustainable sporting offer. It builds thriving community sports clubs led by volunteers in the country’s most deprived urban areas. The charity’s impact extends beyond participants: clubs become a beacon in their local community, local volunteering is multiplied, and volunteers upskilled bringing significant economic, social and environmental benefits.
