The Activate Sport Foundation represents a core belief that all young people, regardless of ability or social background, should have access to sporting opportunities.

Today's society is dealing with some very real issues over child obesity and poor social behaviour amongst our youth; and this is in the face of some tough public spending cuts. The Foundation is a vehicle that tackles these issues head on.

Sport has the unique ability to give young people a positive focus in life regardless of any other difficulties they face. Opening up a sporting pathway for a young person may or may not lead them to becoming an elite athlete; but it will certainly play a very positive role in their life.
