Through the creation of sports apprenticeship programmes across the nation, more than 1000 young people from some of the UK’s most deprived wards have since gained the skills, confidence, networks and knowledge to unlock meaningful education and employment opportunities, whilst also impacting more than 14 million session participants as coaches for other young people and children in communities truly needing sports provision. Young people have been disproportionately affected by the negative social, educational and economic impacts of the cost of living crisis and the critical importance of activity for physical and mental health for everyone has been highlighted. Coach Core Foundation's programmes have never been more needed.
