DFY Sports Limited
Description
DFY Sports Limited (DFY) use sport to level the playing field for young people in Brent growing up without access to the opportunities that give others a head start in life.
Almost 50% of children in Brent grow up with limited access to sport, and many don’t have sporting role models. Working with 2,000+ children weekly, DFY partner with schools, run summer camps and sports academies, and connect young people with role models, including Olympians, who coach and build their confidence. With 85% of parents noticing increased confidence, it works. DFY have opportunities to expand into other parts of London, grow their academies and launch a mentorship programme for particularly vulnerable children, but they don’t have the time to get these off the ground.
Our grant will give them the capacity to do this and to build the partnerships needed to continue growing.
