Get In

Creating the fittest, healthiest generation in our history

Our ambition is clear and compelling: we want to create the fittest, healthiest generation in our history. Get In is a unique new partnership that brings together the sports and physical-activity industry, 160 top businesses and three outstanding social enterprises to harness the power of sport and volunteering to transform the aspirations and enhance the fitness and diet of 460,000 children. It will train thousands of volunteers to deliver activity programmes in 4,000 schools and run 100 school-based Community Games in deprived areas across all nine regions over 12 months.

The partnership draws on Fast Track and Sports Leaders’ 29-year record in running sports events, the industry expertise and public commitment of the Physical Activity Network and the innovation of SportInspired, TAG, Magic Breakfast and Spacehive, backed by high profile sporting ambassadors.

We will create a new scalable, sustainable programme generating a national grid of social impact using a blended model of public/private funding.
