It's our 10th Birthday!

Ten years ago, Power Through Sport was created with a simple belief: that everyone deserves the opportunity to participate, belong and thrive through sport.

Since then, we've grown from a passion project into a community-driven organisation delivering roller sports, ball hockey, youth engagement programmes, school activities, education pathways and community projects across the North East. Our work has focused on reaching those who often miss out on traditional sporting opportunities, helping to tackle health inequalities, reduce antisocial behaviour, build confidence and create positive pathways for young people and families.

Over the last decade we've introduced thousands of people to alternative sports, supported volunteers and young leaders, created inclusive community programmes, developed competitive opportunities and built a vibrant sporting community united by a common purpose: using sport as a force for good.

So How Are We Celebrating?

The answer is simple — by bringing everyone together.

Whether you've been with us since day one, recently joined the journey, or are completely new to Power Through Sport, we invite you to be part of our 10 Year Anniversary Weekend: Skate for Change.

Across two action-packed days we'll celebrate the people, teams, volunteers, partners and communities that have helped shape our story while raising funds to support the next decade of impact.
