Why is there a need for the Foundation?

We want to provide more opportunities for all our children and young people, particularly those who are disadvantaged.

• 1 in 4 children live in poverty in the UK, a situation which is worsening
• These disadvantaged children have limited access to opportunities and experiences, therefore reducing their chances of developing essential skills
• Due to Covid-19 it has been proven that those disadvantaged have found it more difficult to be active during the pandemic
• The ­financial pressures on many families have been increased, meaning extra-curricular activities have had to be reduced
   

With your support GLF Schools’ Foundation can: 
 

• Level the playing ­field for disadvantaged students in this challenging time
• Positively impact mental health and well-being through access to enjoyable activities
• Provide exposure for routes to success for all students to improve motivation and achieve within schools
• Promote the importance of community engagement and cohesion through opportunities and partnerships

“We aim to raise enough money to ensure that all students have the opportunity to experience the benefi­ts of being active no matter their socio-economic background.”
