Sports Connections Foundation

We are a children's charity based in Peterborough who "use sport to help and inspire children". One way this inspiration can be found is through our "Sporting Wishes" which allow us to give children bravely facing life limiting illnesses experiences they will never forget. Our goal to inspire is also found in our 'Inspire through Sport' program, we work to develop positive futures for disadvantaged children and helping guide children away from a life of poverty, these programs are run both nationally and internationally and we utilise sport and education to achieve this. We have engaged with over half a million children in schools across the UK with our "ProKick Schools Challenge' program, a fundraising event the whole school can enjoy whilst also teaching children about global citizenship.
