In the charity's own words
The Foundation's primary aim is to introduce new activities across many sporting and arts disciplines and actively encourage children's participation in them.A subsequent development has been to introduce SATS compatible education support outside the school environment and to deliver this alongside the organised physical activity. This has given extra motivation to the children.
