Get involved

The Youth Sport Trust is inviting proposals via an open tender from researchers to undertake an evaluation of our Inclusion 2020 project.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced research organisation to work with the YST and our partners to deliver a robust evaluation of Inclusion 2020, an innovative new project which has the potential to influence both strategic decision makers in the DfE and inform schools and the school workforce to ensure that every child gets a chance to enjoy and benefit from PE, School Sport and physical activity.
