20 years ago, Sport 4 Life started with one simple idea: helping young people build better futures.

Since then, thousands of young people have been part of that journey.

As we celebrate 20 Years of Impact in 2026, we want to reconnect with the people who helped shape our story.

Did you take part in a Sport 4 Life programme, mentoring session, workshop, or sports activity over the past 20 years?

We’d love to hear where life has taken you.

Whether Sport 4 Life helped you build confidence, find direction, gain employment, or simply gave you a place to belong, your story matters.

We’re looking for:
📖 Testimonials
🎥 Short video messages
📸 Case studies and photos
🎤 Potential guest speakers for future events

What a fantastic day at the Sport Birmingham Summer Showcase!

Despite the rain, hundreds of girls from across Birmingham came together at Alexander Stadium to try new activities, build confidence, make new friends and discover new opportunities through sport.

We were proud to support the event alongside an incredible network of partners, volunteers and young leaders, helping to create positive experiences that inspire young people to believe in their potential.

A huge thank you to Sport Birmingham for organising such an impactful day, and to everyone who brought energy, enthusiasm and smiles throughout the event, whatever the weather!

Everyone at Sport 4 Life UK is incredibly saddened by the passing of our former colleague, Jack Skinner, at such a young age.

Jack worked with us from 2015 to 2019 as our Business Development Manager, and played a key role in the growth and development of the organisation during that time.

Sport 4 Life UK Founder and CEO, Tom Clarke-Forrest, has paid tribute to Jack:
“As a colleague, Jack was talented, ambitious and hard-working. He cared deeply about sport and young people, and was a passionate supporter and advocate of the organisation, both during his time with us and in the years that followed.

But more importantly, Jack was a great human being - warm, caring, and generous, with a brilliant sense of humour. He made a lasting impression on those who had the privilege of working with him, and will be remembered not only for what he contributed professionally, but for the person he was.

Our thoughts and sincere condolences are with Jack’s family, friends and everyone who knew and loved him.”

Thank you, Jack, for everything. You will be very sadly missed.

MILESTONE 3 UNLOCKED - Introducing Our Youth Voice Panel

At Sport 4 Life UK, young people play a key role in shaping what we do. Through our Youth Voice Panel, they move beyond being participants and help influence decisions, share their experiences, and guide how we support others.

Their input helps us:
🔹Create support that reflects different journeys and needs
🔹Communicate in a way that truly connects with young people

We’re now launching a new Youth Voice Panel, bringing together young people from across the West Midlands. Each member brings their own perspective, helping us improve what we do and create better opportunities for others.

This is about listening, learning, and making real changes together.

Today is World Football Giving Day

A day to recognise the power of football to change lives.

At Sport 4 Life UK, we use sport as a tool to support young people who need it most - helping them build confidence, develop key skills, and take steps towards employment.

For many of the young people we work with, football is just the starting point.

It becomes:
✔ A safe space
✔ A confidence boost
✔ A pathway into new opportunities

We’re proud to stand alongside organisations across the world using football as a force for good.

Because the impact of football goes far beyond the final whistle.
