Sport for Confidence, a community health service , has launched its new Blueprint, a powerful articulation of the organisation’s vision, values and guiding principles.
Rooted in the belief that everyone has the right to access and benefit from sport and physical activity, the Blueprint reiterates Sport for Confidence’s mission to reach those who face the greatest barriers. It champions inclusion, meaningful participation and a deep sense of belonging, recognising the vital role physical activity can play in empowering individuals, supporting informed choice and building healthier communities.
Jake Turner, Co-CEO of Sport for Confidence, says: “Since our launch in 2015, the organisation has grown significantly in both reach and scope. Our services have evolved, but our commitment to our original values has never wavered. This Blueprint captures what we stand for, not just as an organisation, but as a movement. It also serves as a guide for future partnerships with others who share our belief in a fairer, more inclusive approach to health and wellbeing.”
Sport for Confidence brings together occupational therapists, the physical activity sector and those with lived experience to co-create programmes that enhance lives. By bringing together these three perspectives, the organisation is uniquely placed to break down participation barriers, reduce inequalities, and make physical activity truly relevant and rewarding for all.
At the heart of Sport for Confidence’s work is a commitment to people, place and purpose. The Blueprint reflects the organisation’s focus on creating environments that enable participation - particularly for those furthest away from sport and physical activity, and on the therapeutic potential of physical activity to support health, prevent illness and strengthen community connections.
Lyndsey Barrett, Founder and Co-CEO, adds: “As the national conversation shifts towards prevention and place-based care, Sport for Confidence offers a proven model for making physical activity a meaningful part of people’s lives.
“Our ambition isn’t just to get more people moving. It’s to use physical activity as a tool for connection, confidence and better health. Our Blueprint clearly defines our approach and makes a bold statement about the role we are playing as a trusted systems partner to government in the drive to improve population health, reduce inequalities and deliver better outcomes for everyone.”
