Sports & Health Project

Our Sport and Health Programme aims to transform the health and wellbeing of homeless and vulnerable people through sport and physical activity.

The initiative is designed to get people more active, in order to prolong lives, improve mental and physical health and reduce isolation.

People who are homeless experience some of the worst health outcomes in the UK, dying 30 years earlier than the population, with a life expectancy of just 47.

That's where we come in - research suggests that for people with inactive lifestyles, even 30 minutes of physical activity a week can significantly improve health and longevity.
