Children of Foster Carers' Week 💙

This week, we recognise and celebrate the children of foster carers who play an important role in helping children in care feel safe, welcomed, and valued.

Their kindness, patience, and support help create nurturing homes where young people can thrive.

At Support Through Sport, we believe every young person deserves a sense of belonging, and we're proud to celebrate those who help make that possible.🫶

Together Against Hate 🤝

This National Hate Crime Awareness Week, we stand alongside communities affected by hate crime and recognise the importance of challenging prejudice, discrimination, and hate.

At Support Through Sport, we believe everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and accepted. Through sport and positive opportunities, we bring people together, break down barriers, and create a sense of belonging for young people and communities.🫶

Together, we can build stronger, more inclusive communities where hate has no place.💜
