Who are we?

We’re JumpStart Sport CIC — a parent-led, not-for-profit community initiative dedicated to getting kids and families moving, playing, and thriving through sport. Founded by passionate parents and qualified teachers, we understand just how important physical activity is for a child’s development, confidence, and wellbeing.

We’re starting small but thinking big — because every child deserves the chance to move, grow, and belong.

Why are we crowdfunding?

We’re launching JumpStart Sport CIC with a clear purpose: to provide fun, inclusive, and affordable sports sessions for children and families in our local area.

We’re kicking things off with two weekly girls’ football sessions for ages 5–11 and a parent & toddler activity group — but this is just the beginning.

Your support will help us reach children who are inactive, have SEND needs, or face financial barriers to sport. With your help, we’ll make early experiences in sport positive, inclusive, and accessible.

Your donations will fund essential equipment, venue costs, and help us expand into local schools, parks, and community spaces while keeping cost as low as possible for those taking part.

How we’ll spend the money raised?

We’re aiming to raise £3,000 to launch JumpStart Sport CIC and make our first sessions possible. Here’s how your support will be used:

• Girls’ football equipment & kit – £600
• Toys & toddler fitness/play resources – £800
• Venue hire & insurance – £800
• Insurance, DBS checks, CPD & training for coaches – £400
• Admin, set-up & marketing materials – £400

This initial funding will give us the foundation to grow sustainably, reach more families, and build something long-lasting for our community.

Community impact

Our mission is to empower children and families through sport — boosting confidence, improving health, and building friendships.

Our sessions will support:

• Girls aged 5–11 through weekly football sessions
• Parents & toddlers with fun fitness and active play
• Schools through inclusive sport for SEND and disengaged pupils
• Children who need financial or emotional support to access activities
• Local charities, churches, and schools working to support vulnerable families

This project will improve wellbeing, inclusion, and community spirit across our area.
