The Change Foundation

Wallington, Surry, United Kingdom

  • Mission

    We transform sport into a tool for change, building safe, healing spaces that empower young people, challenge broken systems, and create lasting impact.

    About Us

    The Change Foundation is an award-winning charity that uses sport to change the lives of marginalised young people.

    Throughout the past 42-years we have successfully delivered award winning sports intervention programmes to vulnerable young people living in the UK and abroad.

    The Change Foundation exists to create spaces where young people feel seen, safe, and free to grow. We don’t offer rescue — we offer roots. Through sport, we provide a home, a future, and a mirror that reflects self-worth.

    We deliver:

      • Targeted programmes led by Coach Mentors with lived experience.
      • Creative pilot initiatives co-designed with young people.
      • Collaborations with charities, corporates, and employers to extend our reach and impact.

    Cause Areas Include

    • Children & Youth
    • Community Development
    • Disability
    • Education
    • Mental Health
