Conference - Wednesday 26 March
Telford International Centre
Join us at the Youth Sport Trust Conference 2025, where our focus will be on how we deliver the happiest and healthiest generation of young learners through a nation of active and well schools.
Our keynote speaker will be the recently retired Director of Women's Football at The FA, Baroness Sue Campbell. More information coming soon.
At our 2024 event, held earlier this year, we delved into the heart of education challenges, aiming to reshape the future of our schools and communities.
Inspirational keynote speakers Ken E. Nwadike Jr and Jon Alexander set the tone for the day, whilst workshops continued to build on how sport, PE, and play can emerge as powerful catalysts for change, creating an event at the forefront of educational transformation.
Throughout the day we supported delegates to uncover strategies that not only re-engage young minds but also bridge the gaps that threaten to hold back a generation. Video highlights are available on this page.
Awards Dinner 2025
Last year, our annual Awards celebrated schools, settings, trusts, and individuals who, alongside the Youth Sport Trust over the past year, had made a real and impactful change to the lives of young people.
A highlight of the event was the presence of double world and Commonwealth champion heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson as the special guest. Her participation added a special dimension to the celebration, emphasising the significance of the achievements and contributions being honoured.
More than 120 nominations poured in across seven categories, with expert judging panels carefully reviewing the shortlisted entries to select finalists in each category.
A big thank you to all who participated, and heartfelt congratulations to the winners! Your dedication, passion, and hard work are truly commendable. Click below to discover more about the winners.
