Funding physical activity for disadvantaged children

Because no one should be left on the sidelines.

The Problem We’re Solving

Every Child Deserves the Chance to Move, Play, and Thrive

Across the UK, too many children are missing out on the chance to experience safe, structured physical activity once the school day ends.

While some head off to football practice, dance class, or swimming lessons, 1 in 3 children are left without any organised opportunities to stay active.
Not by choice — but because of where they live, the budget at home, or the circumstances they were born into.

At Premier Foundation, we believe that must change.

The numbers tell a powerful story:

Only 33% of children regularly take part in organised sports outside of school.

Almost 1 in 3 children do less than 30 minutes of physical activity each day — far below what they need to stay healthy.

This isn’t just about missing out on fun. It’s about missing out on physical health, mental wellbeing, confidence, connection — and future opportunities.

We’re here to rewrite the story.

Premier Foundation works to break down the barriers of postcode, budget, and circumstance.

We bring physical activity, sport, and movement directly into the lives of children who need it most — making it accessible, inclusive, and full of joy.

“Now my son looks forward to every school holiday – he’s made friends, gained confidence, and gets to play like every kid should.”
