About us

inspire+ is a sports and education charity.

Founded in September 2011, our mission is to ensure young people are ‘Healthy, Happy and Active’. We achieve this by realising our aims of increasing young people’s physical activity and well-being through education and community settings.

As well as providing a comprehensive and valued programme of support for schools, the charity is also a leading PE and School Sport apprenticeship training provider.

In addition, we support young people through our community provision, mainly delivered during school holidays, this includes things like holiday activity days for cooking and arts & crafts and holiday sports camps.

We are very proud of our work to date but strive to continually improve and grow our impact for the benefit of young people. ”

Services to schools and communities

inspire+ provides a comprehensive offer of support to schools through our membership and PE & Sport apprenticeship programmes.

We provide a wide range of local Continuous Professional Development courses, high-quality afterschool sports clubs, award-winning leadership programmes, mentoring & mindfulness support and inspirational Ambassador school visits. Our annual Mini Olympics event attracts 2500 young people across three days, an event designed to inspire young people to participate in a lifetime of the competition. 

The charity also provides important services to young people within the community setting, such as the national Holiday Activity Food programme. The programme sees young people access provision that engages them in many educational and physical activities and, most importantly, provides every child with a hot, nutritious meal each day.
