Sports For Schools

Sports for Schools bring Britain's top athletes into schools to run events that excite, inspire and motivate children to lead fit and healthy lives.

Mission: To put physical activity on a par with academic excellence and mental health in primary schools.

The scheme was set up in 2005 by former Great Britain gymnast, Ben Brown. Ben featured heavily in the Back the Bid Campaign which eventually saw London win host nation of the 2012 Olympic Games. Ben was forced to quit his passion and dream of competing at an Olympic Games due to the lack of much needed funding in his sport. He was motivated to ensure that this did not happen to other sporting hopefuls and wanted to inspire children across the UK to take up sport and lead healthy lifestyles.
