WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP

By working in partnership with delivery partners including clubs, community organisations and charities across England, the Personal Best Foundation creates opportunities for children and young people to benefit from the transformative impact of athletics. 

To deliver our work, we work closely with England Athletics, the National Governing Body for the sport, aligning our priority programmes to the national strategy for athletics in England. By working in partnership and not in isolation we can ensure that our work to support disadvantaged children and young people is led by insight and resourced efficiently to allow us to have the biggest impact.  

By understanding the good work of all our partners, we can confidently ensure that charity funds are distributed to the areas of greatest need, prioritising underrepresented groups who without further intervention will simply not experience the same opportunities to participate in, develop and achieve their personal best through athletics.

By working together, we will change the lives of young people.
