What we do

Welcome to the Tony Blair Sports Foundation website.

Sport is one of the North Easts most outstanding qualities and the aim of the Foundation is to help make sure that is true for this generation and those to come.

I want to give something back to the North East, a region which has been such a support to me for many years.

The Foundation will aim to increase the number of volunteer coaches and officials so that more children and young people get the opportunity to play sport.

It’s pretty straightforward: we will help people in their local communities to make a difference by encouraging them to become coaches and then encouraging others to play sport.

Being active and playing sport is good for your health, it helps strengthen communities and it helps build individuals confidence.

Thanks for visiting the site, I hope you enjoy it.
