About Sport in Mind

Sport in Mind is the leading mental health sports charity in England and Wales. Our mission is to transform the nation’s mental health through sport and our trailblazing work harnesses the power of sport to inspire, educate, and promote good mental health.

Since its formation in 2010, Sport in Mind’s long-term partnership with the NHS has enabled us to transform the lives of over 31,000 people struggling with mental health challenges. While research shows that being active is clinically proven to improve mental health, sedentary living remains prevalent among children and adults with mental health problems caused by many issues (eg non-supportive environments, low levels of confidence and self-esteem, social anxiety, mental health challenges).
