The Big London Youth Games Christmas Appeal is here!
This Christmas, you can help London Youth Games use the power of sport to change young lives across the capital.
Your support helps us keep creating safe, positive, confidence-building spaces for young people of all backgrounds - places where they can find a team that welcomes them, a coach who believes in them and a community that lifts them up.
What your money does
Your donations support community sports events and life-changing opportunities for young people across London.
Every pound helps us break down barriers to sport – from providing access to creating a safe space for young people to build confidence. Find out more about the impact of your donations.
