We met with Sport in Mind!

We were delighted to meet with Sport in Mind recently, one of the charities we provided funding, for their Project - ‘Positive Moves’. 

Sport in Mind was formed in Reading, Berkshire, but has delivered thousands of sessions across the South of England, supporting over 16,500 people, with plans to expand into other local counties across the country. Sport in Mind’s aim is to break down the barriers surrounding mental health, through the power of movement, by providing accessible sport and physical activity opportunities to help improve the lives of people experiencing mental health problems.
 
Two representatives from the Foundation, Georgia Burrell and Hannah Conibear, met with Neil Harris, Co-Founder. They learned of how he set up the charity after helping his friend who was struggling with their mental health, which evolved into supporting people in the local community. He did this by giving people who were experiencing mental health problems that little helping hand on their journey to recovery, offering them the opportunity to get active in a fun, safe and supportive environment.? 
 
We were delighted to support this charity and help fund their ‘Positive Moves’ Project, which provides activity sessions and youth journals for children aged 8-14 with mental health problems. 
 
Thank you for having us Sport in Mind – we are excited to hear more about the incredible work that you do in our community!
