The Foundation works with talented young people and their families to ensure that they receive the support they need to pursue their sporting dreams, and to reap the benefits that sport and recreation provide.  They also collaborate with schools, sports clubs and organisations to provide training and support with the aim of ensuring that physical activities are available to everyone.

Buddle Findlay provides the Foundation with financial assistance and legal support to help it achieve its goal of sport and recreation for all.
