Access Sport partnered with the BGF Foundation in 2025 to support us in our mission to make inclusion the norm in community sport.

Crucially, this funding is backed by targeted pro bono support – spanning marketing, legal, finance, digital tools, and governance – delivered by BGF staff and its broader network. 

In July 2025, the BGF Foundation, the independent charitable arm of BGF, announced its largest and most targeted funding round to date: over £650,000 of unrestricted, multi-year funding awarded to seven high-impact charities supporting young people across the UK. 

This funding round supports charities working in areas including education, employability, physical wellbeing and mental health – successful organisations include Access Sport, Social Mobility Foundation, Go Beyond, Think Forward, Sister System, Team Domenica, and Jon Egging Trust.  

Together, these charities reach young people across the regions that BGF operates in, including London, Oxfordshire, Manchester, Birmingham, Brighton, Cardiff, Kent, Nottingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Bristol, Cornwall, North Wales, and beyond. It’s a national portfolio with local relevance – mirroring BGF’s own regional model.
