The David Brown Foundation
9 June 2023
The Sporting Influence Foundation continues to support children in our local community to provide opportunities that they wouldn't usually be able to access. At every camp we run at Ashville College, we provide free places for some of the families and children who need help.We work with some fantastic sponsors and local charities to allow us to raise funds to support this. At our last camp we were able to provide 20 places for children to attend and have a fun, safe and active experience whilst improving confidence and making new friends.This wouldn't have been possible without the support and backing of The David Brown Foundation. A fantastic local charity that supports Foundations like ours and through their very own fundraising events they were able to make this happen.Ollie Ward and James Butterfield, pictured here with David Moss from Sporting Influence, completed an incredible 4 ultra marathons in 4 days this month. All of the money was raised in memory of their great friends Dave and James. A monumental achievement by both.Well done guys and thanks very much for your support. It was much appreciated by the children and families that benefited. One parent commented:"You guys have been an absolute lifesaver for a single mum like me. Just wanted to say how grateful I am, for allowing me to work etc... my children love it every time they come."If you would like to support either of these great causes or donate to the Sporting Influence Foundation, please make contact and make a difference to children's lives in our community.

We love our new home at Ashville College
26 April 2023
Sporting Influence, which was founded more than a decade ago by David Moss, has moved its camps to Ashville College, offering a series of fun, sporting activities for Year 1 to Year 9 pupils, led by a team of highly experienced coaches – many of them qualified school PE teachers.During school holidays, the organisation will be based within Ashville School & Sports Centre, having wide-ranging use of its sports halls, swimming pool, and outdoor sports facilities, including tennis and netball courts and the all-weather hockey pitch.Initially launched in 2013 at Richard Taylor School, with an average of 25 children per session, three years later, and to accommodate a rising demand for places, Sporting Influence moved to Harrogate Ladies’ College.However, with daily numbers now as high as 120, it found the need to look for a new ‘home’. And with its sights set on growing the camps even further, it has moved to Ashville College to help it realise its ambitions.Anna Rakusen-Guy, Ashville’s Events and Lettings Manager, Ashville College, said:“We are absolutely delighted that Sporting Influence has chosen Ashville as its new home. This will see it utilising our indoor and outdoor sports facilities every school holiday, starting in just two weeks’ time.“Sporting Influence has a fantastic reputation and is very popular with parents who want their children to engage in fun, energetic activities in the school holidays.“David has chosen Ashville because we are able to accommodate their needs, come rain or shine. We see this as the start of a long and successful partnership, and I look forward to working with David and the wider team over the coming months and years.”Sporting Influence founder David Moss said:“The move to Ashville marks an exciting new chapter in our story, and the February half-term holiday can’t come soon enough for us.“Ashville offers everything that we need to grow our holiday activity camps. It has everything we want and Ashville has been tremendous in ensuring that all our needs have, and will be met.“The College is bigger than our previous ‘homes’, and as a result, more children will be able to benefit from our sessions.“From starting on a relatively small scale, we have now become the leading provider of school holiday activities in the Harrogate District, and it’s brilliant to see so many children, both boys and girls, returning year after year.”Following on from an amazing February half-term and Easter, Sporting Influence will be back at Ashville for May Half Term and the Summer Holiday, commencing on Monday, July 10 right up to Friday, August 25.Further details about Sporting Influence can be found on its website here.mg
