When Solidarity Sports was established in 2007, we aimed to engage children in sports--a fun, accessible way to bring kids together and promote good health and wellness. Solidarity Sports has harnessed the transformative power of play to nurture disadvantaged children recovering from complex trauma. We support children's healing through sports, healthy eating, arts, educational trips, mentorship programmes and holidays within the UK and abroad.

What binds these programmes is a commitment to creating a safe, open-minded, inclusive and loving environment, where we can play together and happy memories are made. Days out with the children are our hearts and soul! During every school holiday, children join us for fun trips from Monday to Friday. This can range from twirling on the skating rink, throwing stones into the sea at Brighton Beach, or nourishing our minds at the stunning Natural History Museum.
