London Youth Games Launches Festive Appeal to Give the Gift of Sport This Christmas
London Youth Games has today launched its festive Christmas Appeal, calling on Londoners, partners and supporters to Give the Gift of Sport and help thousands of young people access the joy, confidence and connection that sport brings.
This year’s campaign invites individuals and companies across the capital to play a vital role in ensuring young Londoners can take part in sport during the 2026 holiday periods. Donations will help provide equipment, coaching, mentoring and inclusive opportunities for children and young people in London.
Sport is more than a game – it is a lifeline for many young people across the city.
Every donation helps young Londoners to:
• stay active and healthy
• build confidence and social connection
• experience belonging and friendship
• access safe and supportive environments during the holiday periods
• discover new talents, pathways and opportunities
For young people facing barriers, these opportunities can be truly life-changing. The impact seen across London Youth Games programmes each year is only made possible through the generosity of supporters, partners and organisations who believe in the power of sport.
We are encouraging you to stand alongside young Londoners and help us provide life-changing opportunities throughout 2026.
