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.
-
Fund free or subsidised activity sessions so that children in underserved communities have real, accessible opportunities to move, play, and thrive — no matter their postcode or circumstances.
-
Equip communities with training and resources, empowering local leaders, schools, and volunteers to deliver high-quality, sustainable physical activity programs that leave a lasting legacy.
-
Support parents by providing low-cost, easily accessible physical activity options, helping families overcome financial barriers and encouraging lifelong healthy habits from an early age.
-
Work alongside partners, schools, and local authorities to expand our reach, increase inclusive opportunities, and ensure that children of every ability and background can experience the joy and benefits of being active.
-
Before
Too many individuals and communities were held back by barriers to essential resources, education, and support — limiting their opportunities for growth, stability, and a brighter future.
-
After
Thanks to Premier Foundation’s initiatives, thousands now have access to life-changing educational programs, healthcare support, and sustainable community projects — creating a stronger quality of life, expanding opportunities, and driving lasting, positive change.
