Greenhouse Sports is a dedicated charity that uses the power of sport and mentoring to transform young lives. For 22 years, Greenhouse Sports has embedded expert Coach-mentors within schools in disadvantaged communities, delivering free, intensive sports programmes that transform the life skills of young people.
Greenhouse Sports operates mainly within schools, offering intensive, long-term coaching that supports not only athletic skills but also life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and confidence.
Their "STEP" framework emphasises the development of social, thinking, emotional, and physical skills. This holistic approach is designed to help children from underserved backgrounds thrive both in school and in their personal lives, improving attendance and engagement with education.
Through their programs, Greenhouse Sports reaches over 8,000 children annually, making a significant impact in London, where many young people face challenges like poverty and limited opportunities. They are also responding to increasing mental health challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, offering vital support during a time of growing need.
Their work is funded through donations, corporate partnerships, and other forms of voluntary income, which allows them to expand their reach and provide critical mentoring and coaching over several years.
As a brand grounded in the power of exercise and social connection on our long term health, we share Greenhouse Sport's belief that sport really does change lives. We at Puresport are in awe of the charities' continued commitment to sharing their skills and serving communities to inspire change for the long run. Over the coming weeks, we're excited to share how we are supporting Greenhouse Sports this Winter and beyond.
