02 Activities

What the charity does

The Foundation's activities focus on four main pillars which are: social inclusion; Sports participation; Education; and Health. In our first year we have emphasised sporting activities for young people, mainly in the Borough of Merton. However, activities were expanding to include older people (walking football), opportunities for female involvement and children with learning difficulties.
