At TackleLondon, we believe in the transformative power of mentorship in sport, and we’re thrilled to see this vital work recognised in The Guardian! Renowned sports writer and former Olympian Cath Bishop has shone a spotlight on the growing impact of sports mentorship in the UK, highlighting how organisations like ours are using sport to empower young people facing adversity.
In her thought-provoking piece, Bishop explores the role of sports mentors in supporting children and young adults who have experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). She highlights how trusted relationships built through sport can create safe spaces, foster confidence, and provide young people with the guidance they need to navigate life’s challenges.
TackleLondon is proud to be named alongside other inspiring initiatives such as the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust, Greenhouse Sports, and Football Beyond Borders, all working to ensure sport is more than just a game—it’s a catalyst for change.
As we look ahead to 2025, let’s celebrate not just the athletes who lift trophies but also the mentors who are shaping futures behind the scenes.
