Since our founding in 1981, weve awarded more than £100 million to more than 1,600 projects that inspire activity. Weve supported a wide range of organisations and inclusive activities, from team sports like football and wheelchair basketball, to individual activities like running and swimming, and other ways of being active like play, dance, walking and gardening, so that everyone, regardless of their age, ability or background, can lead an active and healthy life.

Our values are integral to who we are, how we work and what we do:

- **Impact** together we create positive change
- **Innovate** together we enable new ideas
- **Everyone** together we champion inclusivity
- **Customer first** together we go the extra mile for all

Diversity, inclusion and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do, and we want to ensure they are at the heart of our company. We strongly value diversity within our workforce and recognise that different people bring different perspectives, lived experience, ideas and culture to the company. This difference brings with it great strengths, including diversity of thought and innovation.
