Founded in 2004 Access Sport is a dynamic charity whose mission is to give more children, particularly in disadvantaged areas, access to a wide range of quality local sport. We empower the inspirational community volunteers who set up and run local sports clubs with cash, expert advice and networking.
Kick started by Access Sport’s free Sports Jam festivals, our club development programmes meet an urgent need and bring lasting change to areas where young people and their communities benefit most from sport’s unique power to engage.

‘The secret is belief. Belief in the youth, belief in myself and belief in my team.’
