COMMUNITY PROGRAMMES
Our Community Programmes
Creating accessible, inclusive opportunities for children and young people to get active through the power of athletics
We believe every child and young person should have the chance to move, play and feel the joy of being active. Our community programmes make activity more accessible and inclusive, especially for those who face the greatest barriers to taking part.
Working with schools ,delivery partners and local community organisations, we reach children and young people directly in their own communities. Together, we help remove obstacles to participation and create welcoming spaces where they feel confident, supported and inspired to get active.
Our Community Hubs bring this support into trusted local venues such as schools and community centres, offering safe, friendly sessions where young people can discover the fun of athletics in a relaxed and fun environment.

Hear from our Partners
Our community programmes are powered by local community partners and relatable role models.
Coaches who understand the children and young people they work with because they come from the same places, share similar experiences and know what support really looks like.
Thanks to funding from Personal Best Foundation, coaches can complete funetics training, equipping them with the skills to deliver safe, inclusive and engaging sessions in trusted local venues.
Their presence in schools, community centres and partner locations helps young people feel welcomed, represented and encouraged to try something new, building confidence and connection through the joy of movement.
“Growing up, I was one of those kids who was never really encouraged in sport. I struggled and often felt like I didn’t belong. That’s why delivering funetics means so much to me - I want every child to feel seen, encouraged and capable, no matter their ability or background. Delivering funetics isn’t just coaching - it’s creating a space where kids discover confidence, movement, and the joy of sport.''
