As we welcome 2025, the Sporting Influence Foundation is thrilled to share an ambitious and inspiring roadmap for the year ahead. Building on the successes of 2024, we are committed to expanding our initiatives, strengthening partnerships, and making an even greater impact on the lives of young people in our community. Here’s what lies ahead:
The success of our Play2EmpowHer programme has been a cornerstone of our work in promoting girls’ participation in sports. In 2025, we’re excited to continue delivering this initiative, empowering even more young girls to build confidence, develop leadership skills, and foster a lifelong love of physical activity.
Expanding our reach into the PSHE curriculum, we’ll continue to deliver First Aid sessions for primary school children. This programme equips young learners with essential life-saving skills and the confidence to respond to emergencies—a vital addition to their education.
Following the success of our inaugural Golf Day, we’re delighted to announce the second Sporting Influence Golf Day, set to take place once again at the prestigious Harrogate Golf Club. This event promises to be a highlight of the year, bringing together our supporters for a day of competition, and fundraising.
In 2025, we’re taking on our first fundraising challenge in collaboration with David Lloyd Gyms. This exciting initiative will raise essential funds for the Foundation, allowing us to continue expanding our programs and reach.
Our partnership with Evolve Psychology has already shown incredible potential, and we’re eager to see it grow even further. This year, we’ll continue to collaborate, providing an outlet for children to thrive through Sporting Influence and receiving invaluable training around understanding and supporting neurodivergent children.
None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our year-long sponsors. To YourHarrogate, Verity Frearson, Ashville College, and Evolve Psychology, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your unwavering commitment makes running the Foundation not only possible but truly impactful.
Sporting Influence Foundation is ready to make 2025 a year of growth and lasting impact. We can’t wait to see the difference we’ll make together. Stay tuned for updates and join us on this exciting journey!
