raised!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated to The Big Five-O. Together we raised over £10,000 and gave 2,000 kids access to sport and play. Back slaps and high fives all round.
ABOUT
The UN recognizes play as the right of every child. Play is not a luxury; it is a tool for education and health. It can bring entire communities together and inspire every individual. It provides a retreat from everyday hardships and brings joy and laughter, allowing kids to be kids.
Founded in 2000 by four time Olympic Gold medallist Johann Olav Koss, Right to play are a charity committed to giving every child the opportunity to take part in games and sports - regardless of gender, disability, ethnicity, social background or religion. Through sport, these kids become constructive participants in society, and play a part in the social change in communities affected by war, poverty and disease.
Thanks to Right to Play, each week, more than 800,000 children take part in regular sport and play activities. A combined total of more than 1 million children attend regular programming and special sports events and festivals. This is made possible by more than 15,000 local coaches, teachers and leaders.
