Support Through Sport, based in Nottingham, delivers sport-based intervention, mentoring, and progressions programmes to thousands of disadvantaged young people, empowering them to develop pro-social behaviours and providing a lasting positive impact within underserved communities. Our journey began in 2021, growing to become a well-established and reputable organisation working at the intersection of sport and youth work, to impact thousands of disadvantaged young people throughout Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

We work to a theory of change which ultimately provides at-risk young people with protective factors, diverting them away from negative influences such as; violence affecting young people, youth offending, anti-social behaviour, group violence and knife crime. Through an innovative, youth-led approach, Support Through Sport harnesses the power of sport to empower disadvantaged youth and create safer communities, where young people can thrive.

We’re passionate about implementing real change within communities worst affected by deprivation and negative influences, through an unparalleled work ethic. We strive to provide young people with meaningful support, guidance and opportunities which enable every young person to achieve their full potential.
