Underfunded
Brilliant programmes run on goodwill and short-term grants, spending more time chasing money than changing lives.
ABOUT US
SPORT HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE LIVES.
Sport Local Action is a community interest company built on a simple belief: that sport has the power to change lives, and that too much of that power goes to waste.
Across the UK, sports clubs, charities and individuals are already doing extraordinary things. They are tackling knife crime, supporting mental health, reducing reoffending, fighting poverty, creating employment and bringing isolated people back into community life. Sport is the vehicle. The impact is real.
THE PROBLEM WE EXIST TO SOLVE
The organisations doing this work are too often working alone.
Under-connected
Clubs and charities solve the same problems in isolation, unaware of the people ten miles away doing the same work.
Under the radar
The impact is real, but funders, councils and the public can't see it. Invisible work doesn't get backed.
WE BRING THE SECTOR TOGETHER. WE MAKE GREAT WORK VISIBLE. WE HELP IT REACH FURTHER.

We're not here to build an empire.
Sport Local Action is a non-profit CIC. Our job is to make the existing ecosystem work better: for the clubs, the charities, the funders, and most of all for the people whose lives sport can change.
If that sounds like something you want to be part of, we'd love to hear from you.
