Stronger communities, enriched through the power of sport.

Welcome

Sport Local Action exists to unlock the power of sport to change lives.

 

Across the UK and beyond, clubs, charities and individuals are using sport to tackle some of society’s biggest challenges. From poverty and mental health to youth employment and community connection, the impact is real.

 

But it is too often hard to find, hard to connect and hard to fund.

 

We are changing that.

 

Through our Sports Bank, we remove financial barriers between young people and playing sport, ensuring access is not determined by circumstance.

 

Through the Sport Impact Hub, we are building the first free, fully searchable platform for Sport for Good programmes – making impact visible and easier to support.

 

Through the Power of Sport Podcast and our weekly newsletter, we tell the stories of the people and organisations driving change, giving the sector the visibility it deserves.

 

Our role is simple. Shine a light on what works. Connect the people who can grow it. Help great work reach further.

 

If you are using sport to make a difference, you are part of this.
