Who is Sporting Equals?

Sporting Equals is a leading charity in the UK promoting race equality and equity in sport and physical activity. Our mission is to create a sporting landscape where ethnically diverse communities feel included, represented, and able to thrive – whether on the pitch, in leadership, or in decision-making spaces.
 
We work with national governing bodies, system partners, and community organisations to tackle inequalities, influence policy, and drive systemic change. Through research, advocacy, and community  programmes we empower organisations to move beyond representation towards genuine inclusion and cultural change.
Together, we are shaping a future where sport and physical activity truly belongs to everyone.
