The aim of the Belvoir Education & Sports Trust (BEST) is to ‘inspire children to lead happy, healthy, active lives through sport and countryside education’. We work throughout the year in schools and in the community and host unique Cricket & Countryside Education Days on the Belvoir Estate. We actively target disadvantaged groups such as children of low-income families and SEND youngsters.

According to the Youth Sport Trust's 2025 annual report:-

• Only 48% of children are meeting the UK’s Chief Medical Officers’ recommendation of at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day

• Girls, children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and those from disadvantaged backgrounds continue to face the greatest barriers to being active

• One in 10 children in the UK are obese or at risk of obesity

• Physical activity levels have stagnated for the fifth year running

• 1 in 10 young people in the UK have low wellbeing

• 70% of parents believe that as a result of digital distractions children are spending less time being active.
