Our camps are about so much more than sport. 💙

Our sessions give people the chance to get active, get creative, try something new and connect with others.

From building confidence and learning new skills to making friends and creating memories, every session is an opportunity to grow.

Check out our small recap of some of the activities that have taken place so far!

A HUGE THANK YOU TO McDONALD’S FOLKESTONE!

We want to say a massive thank you to the McDonald’s restaurants in Folkestone for supporting our Summer Camps at F51 and Three Hills Sports Park.

They’ve kindly donated fresh fruit for every child, every day throughout our camps, and it’s been a huge hit! 🙌

It’s partnerships like this that show the impact we can have when local organisations come together to support children and families in our community.

Thank you for helping us make our Summer Camps even better! ❤️

What an incredible day at the Folkestone Coastal 10K! 🏃💙

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, volunteered, cheered from the sidelines or chose to run in support of The Sports Trust.

This year's event was another fantastic success, with a sell-out field of 1,000 runners, corporate and charity teams taking part, virtual participants joining in, and even the course record being broken!

We're incredibly grateful to have been selected as one of the event's charity partners. Thanks to the generosity of our amazing supporters, an incredible £2,500 was raised for The Sports Trust. Every pound will help us continue creating opportunities for people of all ages to be active, improve their wellbeing and connect with their community.

A very special thank you goes to Race Director Ray Johnson, who has supported and championed not only The Sports Trust but countless organisations since the Folkestone Coastal 10K began in 2012. Your kindness, dedication and passion for making a difference in our community never go unnoticed. Thank you for everything you do.

Here's to another brilliant year, we can't wait to do it all again!
