Our Mission for 2026–27

For our next mission, we are focused on building stronger foundations and expanding our impact. Our goal is to secure sustainable funding, sponsor five young athletes across their full season, and connect with more athletes worldwide. We aim to grow our community to 20,000 Instagram followers, host a community challenge, and begin producing more consistent content that brings youth stories to life. Alongside this, we’ll be redefining our sponsorship programmes to offer new and exclusive ways for people to support the next generation.

Take a look below; these are the steps we’ll take to achieve this, with progress updates shared on our platforms throughout the year.
