Dr Radha, Health and Wellbeing Expert, NHS GP, television, radio and podcast broadcaster and author, joined the Youth Sport Trust as a Champion in 2022 to promote sport as tool for wellbeing. Dr Radha  has been instrumental in the development of the Youth Sport Trust Well Schools initiative which aims to improve education outcomes by placing wellbeing at the very heart of school improvement.

Dr Radha said:

“Sport transforms lives and I am passionate about helping sport become a tool for children and young people to use for their mental and emotional wellbeing, as well as physical health. Sport connects us, it builds confidence, teamwork, skills, self-esteem and a sense of goal setting, achievement and motivation. 

“All of these make us emotionally and mentally healthy. I want every child and young person to experience the benefits that sport brings and to recognise and be empowered to use it throughout their lives, to help them in easy times but also in challenging times, and to know sport is always there for them, to help them feel better.”
