Our Sports

The Tony Blair Sports Foundation aims to improve access to sport for young people in the North East by increasing the number of Level 1 coaches and officials in grassroots sport. To do this we have identified six sports that we currently concentrate on. Having started with Athletics, Football, Indoor Rowing, and Tennis, we expanded in 2009 to include Basketball and Cycling.

The Foundation has built a strong membership of volunteers and coaches across the North East, by covering half of the fees for volunteers to become Level 1 coaches or officials we are now working with local sports clubs and community groups who need them most, increasing access to sport for young people across the region and making a difference where it matters.

If you want to get involved in any of the six sports as a coach or an official and also want to give something back to your community then work with us. Sign up and become a member of the Foundation today!
