Working on a local, national and international scale, we create bespoke partnerships which work for every organisation. These mutually beneficial partnerships deliver a positive impact for organisations whilst supporting our charitable work to ensure all young people enjoy the life changing benefits that come from play and sport.

We collaborate with organisations to transform young lives through bespoke activities that fit with shared values and your corporate social responsibility aims. Together we are the Changemakers empowering young people and equipping educators to transform lives through sport.

Our work includes charity sponsorship, co-creation of programmes and resources, sharing expertise and delivering funded programmes.

We also work with a select group of ‘Changemaker Business’ partners within the PE & School sport space who align closely with our charity’s mission and who we believe provide quality opportunities for our network of member schools and other school stakeholders.

Jamie Stewart, Marketing Manager at Sports Direct said: "Sports Direct believes that sport is the great equaliser and we have outlined clear objectives with the Youth Sport Trust which aim to further progress the nation’s relationship with sport, recreation and children’s wellbeing.

"We are working together to provide free-to-access content and tools to help families play together, help young people from the most underserved and disadvantaged communities achieve their potential through the power of play and sport and to support schools with the best value equipment and kit for PE and school sport.

"The first two years of our partnership have been a resounding success, seeing Youth Sport Trust work alongside Sports Direct on two major activations, and we are looking forward to seeing what our third year of partnership will bring."

Joe Mooney, Senior Partnerships Manager at Lidl Ireland, said: "Through our work with Youth Sport Trust and their team of specially trained athlete mentors, we are funding schools programmes throughout the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland which are helping students to understand the long term physical and mental health benefits of sports participation.

"We have been very impressed with YST’s commitment to delivering the very best programmes and outcomes for the students involved. The post programme evaluations each year clearly demonstrate the impact they are having on students, and indeed teachers, across the island."
