Supporting Families – removing barriers to Getting Children Active
As a not-for-profit, our vision is for A World Where Children Love Being Active. The Supporting Families Programme was set up to benefit the lives of children and families through sport and physical activity through subsidised places on our sports and activity camps. The programme is proud to serve children, families, organisations, charities and military families in the UK but can also cover International projects too.
- 636 children impacted (in the last 3 years)

Who we support
We offer subsidised places to families, charities and organisations, enabling and encouraging children to enjoy sport and activity in the school holidays, which they may not otherwise have access to. We offer:
-
Subsidised places for families in difficult circumstances, including terminal illness, bereavement, financial hardship, fleeing domestic abuse and violence and other challenging family circumstances.
-
Subsidised places for organisations and charities providing places to the families supported by organisations including Barnardo’s, Mums in Need and Time Matters.
-
Subsidised places for Military families operating camps on military bases and offering places within our non-military camps.

Our Supporting Families Programme
The Supporting Families Programme aims to benefit the lives of children and families through using the tool of sport and activity. We mainly do this by offering subsidised places to families, charities and organisations, enabling and encouraging children to enjoy sport and activity in the school holidays which, without our support, they may not otherwise have access to.
We’re registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales (charity number: 1105460), the Office for the Scottish Charity Regulator (charity number SCO43119), and with the Fundraising Regulator. Read our full donation policy.
