Support our mission

CONNECTSPORT AIMS TO SHOWCASE AND CELEBRATE THE SPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT SECTOR. ALL PROFITS ARE RE-INVESTED IN THE PLATFORM.

The ConnectSport platform is managed by experienced media executives and journalists whose mission is to increase awareness and investment in the Sport for Development sector. Sport for Development ranges from improving physical health, mental wellbeing and social inclusion, to tackling crime and unemployment, and addressing diversity, discrimination and inequality. We believe sport has the power to enable significant positive change in society, a theory supported in recent years the UK by the DCMS 'Sporting Future' strategy, and on a global level by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. To support ConnectSport, our journalists and media executives also provide a wide range of business and communications services, listed on this page, with all profits re-invested in sustaining and growing the platform.
