Story
I am running the London Parks Half Marathon on October 11 and raising money for Access Sport. Access Sport is a charity whose mission is to give children from the UK’s most disadvantaged communities access to a wide range of quality sport.
Any donations greatly appreciated
Thank you,
Peter
Some information on Access Sport below:
Founded in 2004, Access Sport encourages grass-roots youth participation in sport through the existing network of clubs, in partnership with major corporations wanting to align their brands with, and invest in, community sport.
We are seeking to address rising obesity levels and other health and social issues, such as juvenile delinquency, by engaging young people in active sporting programmes within their community.
We empower the inspirational volunteers who run local sports clubs with financial support, expert advice and networking.We work with our partner sports clubs, over a two year period, helping them to promote fitness and fun through sustainable sporting programmes, which are accessible and affordable to young people. Our club development programmes, bring lasting change to the areas that benefit most from sport’s unique power to transform lives through tackling health, crime, educational attainment and social mobility issues.
