Running from 2012 to 2019, Support through Sport UK was an HMRC-registered charity. Its aims were:
(1) To raise awareness of the many sports clubs that existed across the UK. Its website featured information on over 1,500 sports clubs that fielded teams for para athletes, older athletes, women and young athletes.
(2) To encourage local community workers (e.g. disability officers, youth offending team officers etc.) to link up with local sports coaches and vice versa. Support through Sport UK believed that fostering such relationships would result in sport being used to help people who were facing adversity (e.g. by making sports clubs more inclusive and by using sport as part of rehabilitation programmes).
(3) To conduct in-depth sports club profiles, with a focus on clubs that fielded para teams. These profiles inspired other sports clubs to become more inclusive.
(4) To profile sporting events pertaining to Support through Sport UK's target audiences. The coverage that para, women's and older people's sport got was increasing, but there were still many events that got little, if any, coverage. Support through Sport UK tried to rectify this!
(5) To profile, and raise awareness of, inspiring sporting charities and schemes that used sport for social good; thus enabling Support through Sport UK readers to become part of these schemes - either as participants or volunteers.
(6) To interview inspirational athletes (at all levels) who had really triumphed over adversity; thus demonstrating the power of sport to improve lives.
Support through Sport UK also supported a couple of international development projects, including the Afghanistan Rugby Federation juniors - which it sent sports kit to and helped to promote.
