Our Vision
United Through Sport is an international sports development charity whose vision is to alleviate the symptoms of poverty through the power of sport. It seeks to do this by enabling disadvantaged communities to:
- Play sport where access is limited
- Tackle social and health issues through sport
- Unite people through sport
Play...for opportunity
We believe every man, woman and child has the right to play sport. Sport has the ability not only to promote fitness, self-esteem and fair play, but also to deliver opportunity, choice and hope. However, for many living in poverty or isolation, access to sport is a privilege not a right. We provide access to sport and play-based activities for disadvantaged communities by providing the essentials they need to get started. From sponsoring talented athletes to attend academies to training community coaches, we provide the sports equipment, facilities and training they need so that anyone, no matter what their ability, can enjoy the benefits of sport and play.
Tackle...for lasting change
Sport is an effective means of bringing people together to tackle important life issues and bring about lasting change. We use the power of sport to bring people together to discuss and tackle the wider social, economic and cultural challenges such as poor education and training, the prevalence of HIV/AIDS and gender inequality. From delivering life skills and HIV awareness training to schools to increasing the involvement of women in community sports, we work hard to tackle the barriers to development to improve the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable people and bring about real and lasting change.
Unite...for a brighter future
Sport is a universal language. It unites individuals, groups and nations to work towards a common goal. We use sport to unite communities both locally and internationally to share their passion for sport, promote mutual respect and to develop a greater understanding of one another to help tackle inequality at both the local and international level. From international sporting events to local tournaments, we support projects that bring together disadvantaged groups with the wider community to reduce isolation, break down barriers and create a network of support for those at the margins of society. Together we can achieve more. Together we can tackle inequality. Together we can play!
