In our role as official Charity Partner to Youth Sport Trust, the Inspiring Learning family of brands make an annual pledge to raise £10,000 per year through fundraising and events in their head offices, nationwide activity centres and local communities.

The Youth Sport Trust is a UK leading children’s charity for improving young people’s wellbeing through sport and play. We are fundraising to support the vital work being delivered by the Youth Sport Trust to help to reclaim play and sport in children's lives. Together we can build a brighter future where every child enjoys the life-changing benefits of play and sport.

Why do we support the Youth Sport Trust?

There is a crisis in young people's wellbeing, with rising numbers reporting symptoms of anxiety and depression, alongside a decline in levels of physical activity.

What's more, children from disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to access and understand the benefits of sport and play. The facts are bleak:

• 25% of Year 6 pupils are obese2.4 million young people are active for less than 30 minutes per day

• 53% of young people believe their social wellbeing has suffered since the Covid pandemic

• 83% of UK parents believe children are spending too much time online and not enough time with each other
