the youth sport trust believes in a future where every child enjoys the life changing benefits of play and sport. we are passionate about building a brighter future where our children are happier and healthier because we know when children are happy and healthy they learn, and if children learn we have a society fit for the future.

over 25 years we have developed a unique way of maximising the power of sport to grow young people, schools and communities through the development of physical and mental health, fostering inclusion and building character and leadership skills. we have been fortunate enough to work closely with government to influence policy and deliver national strategy, as well as in delivering and co-creating projects for a range of trusts, foundations, lottery distributors and corporates.

our new strategy recognises that to make greater change we need more changemakers to help us, new audiences we haven't previously spoken to. this is a key driver for the creation of this new and exciting role.
