ABOUT US
CHANGING YOUNG LIVES THROUGH ATHLETICS
Personal Best Foundation provides children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and communities with the opportunity to participate and achieve their personal best, breaking down social inequalities and improving their health and wellbeing.
OUR VISION
All children and young people have the opportunity to achieve their personal best through the power of athletics.
OUR PURPOSE
To change young lives through athletics.
OUR VALUES
We inspire children and young people and help them realise that everyone can achieve a personal best.
We collectively take responsibility to care for each other and are considerate of personal circumstances.
We bring people together. Working as a team with our stakeholders and partners for the benefit of children and young people.
We are creative and solution-focused, pushing boundaries and testing new approaches to address inequalities within athletics.
We are passionate about helping to develop the potential of every young person.
WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP
By working in partnership with delivery partners including clubs, community organisations and charities across England, the Personal Best Foundation creates opportunities for children and young people to benefit from the transformative impact of athletics.
To deliver our work, we work closely with England Athletics, the National Governing Body for the sport, aligning our priority programmes to the national strategy for athletics in England. By working in partnership and not in isolation we can ensure that our work to support disadvantaged children and young people is led by insight and resourced efficiently to allow us to have the biggest impact.
By understanding the good work of all our partners, we can confidently ensure that charity funds are distributed to the areas of greatest need, prioritising underrepresented groups who without further intervention will simply not experience the same opportunities to participate in, develop and achieve their personal best through athletics.
By working together, we will change the lives of young people.
