About Active Fusion

Our Why

As a parent and the Director of a children’s charity, it breaks my heart that one in five children are now experiencing mental health difficulties and less than half of children and young people are achieving the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity. These are not just statistics, they are real lives, real struggles, and real futures at risk. 

In Doncaster alone, children growing up in the most disadvantaged communities face a 10-year life expectancy gap compared to those in more affluent areas, a gap driven by poverty, inequality, inactivity, and poor mental health.

At Active Fusion, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. We exist to bridge the gap, using the power of physical activity to nurture not just healthier bodies, but happier minds and brighter futures.

We know that when children move more, they feel better, learn better, sleep better, and begin to shape the future they deserve. That’s why we’re passionate about getting sport and physical activity back where it belongs, at the heart of our schools, communities, workplaces, and homes. 

We are ambitious and determined to create a world where every young person is healthy, happy, and active. We are determined to prioritise those facing the greatest inequality, and to reach more children and young people than ever before, giving them the opportunities they need to thrive.  

But we can’t do it alone. We need champions, people like you, to join our movement. Whether you’re a teacher, parent, business, or community leader, your support can change lives. 

Join us. Support us. Move with us.
