Just Giving - By donating you are helping us to support the dreams of our Future Champions, and creating tomorrow’s sports stars

The Sporting Equals Future Champions programme aims to identify and support tomorrow's sports stars.

The right support at the right time in a young person's career can make all the difference. We're helping these talented and dedicated youngsters to develop to their full potential in their sport. In return, our Future Champions are young ambassadors, valuable role models for black and minority ethnic young people.

By promoting the fun and excitement of a fit and active lifestyle, they are helping us open up a world of opportunities and positive experiences, with widespread benefits from social inclusion, personal wellbeing and sporting achievement.
