As part of our Give Daily initiative, we’re highlighting 12 charities and social enterprises to support and today the spotlight is on Badu Sports.
Based in east London, Badu Sports uses sport as its main tool to focus on the educational and community development of young people. While Badu provides physical education, they also aim to offer advice, guidance and positive role models to enrich mental wellbeing too.
Badu Sports offer a range of services such as P.E in schools, mentoring programmes, Continuing Professional Development, holiday camp and much more!
During the coronavirus pandemic, Badu’s volunteers centred their focus on communities staying active and accessing essentials by delivering online exercise sessions, weekly challenges and regular check-in calls. Badu Sports also launched a food bank, under its One Community initiative, which provided over 500 individuals with basic necessities, as well as toys and activity ideas for children.
Speaking on One Community, Badu Sports’ Community Lead said: “One Community’s aim is to provide physical and mental support to enhance well-being during this period.”
