The COVID-19 pandemic, cost of living and energy crisis and the war in Ukraine has caused many more families to slip into poverty. As a result we have seen our network of charity partners grow by 100% as we work hard to respond to the huge increase in need over the last two years. As the need in the community continues to grow, we have launched our Humanitarian Aid Partnership; an opportunity for corporate organisations, businesses of any size and individuals to collaborate with the charity; either by donating goods, donating funds or fundraising.

Thanks to funding from Sport England's Tackling Inequalities Fund, we are delighted to welcome Andrew Anastasiou to the team. Andrew joins the team as Programme Manager for our Sport For Good initiative and will be leading the design and development of the programme to provide aid to the most needy groups.

In the face of adversity and geographical barriers, Goods For Good remains steadfast in our mission to reach those communities most in need, no matter how remote. In a year overshadowed by the pandemic, the importance of education and access to learning resources became even more critical.

Sports programs can create stable and inclusive communities and have the power to create a significant social impact on individuals and communities alike. Working with organisations who support vulnerable communities we have recently launched the pilot of our Sports For Good initiative which will deliver sports kit and footwear, so those people in need so they have the means to access services and support networks available to them.
