About Us

10 Year Anniversary

In June 2015, the Foundation was registered with the mission of transforming the lives of disadvantaged young people.

Tim founded the THF because he knows the power of sport and understands what a difference a good education can make. Over the last 10 years we have raised over £3.6 million and supported 91,000 children and young people.

We have worked with hundreds of partners to bring our programmes to life! The coaches, teachers and mentors we work with share our mission and inspire youngsters every day to reach their full potential.

None of this would be possible without our supporters and we are really grateful to everybody who has enabled us to transform lives.
