Our mission
Closing the movement gap
The David Lloyd Clubs Together Foundation was set up with a single mission. To change lives through the power of movement.
Kids don’t need a reason to move – just the opportunity. And there's no one better to provide it than us.
The David Lloyd Clubs Together Foundation was set up with a single mission. To change lives through the power of movement.
Kids don’t need a reason to move – just the opportunity. And there's no one better to provide it than us.
Why it matters
Less than half of children in England are meeting the recommended daily activity levels. Closing this movement gap not only increases their physical health, it improves their mental wellbeing, confidence and resilience. And ultimately, their future.
The benefits of activity aren’t just physical. It supports:
Confidence
Mental wellbeing
Resilience
Social connection
Long-term opportunity
Why us?
Every day, in every Club, we bring people together to make movement a joy. So, it made sense to take that energy out into our local communities. To break down barriers standing in the way of change. And harness our collective efforts to build a better future for children.
Our network
- International network of Clubs, spanning nine countries, embedded in local communities
- Expertise in sport, swimming, fitness and wellbeing
- Passionate teams and engaged members
- Long history of community fundraising and support
How you can support us
Whether you're a David Lloyd Clubs member or not, you can get involved by donating, fundraising, volunteering or simply spreading the word.
David Lloyd Clubs has already committed £800,000 to establish the Foundation and fund the first 34 programmes, which will launch at the start of the 2026/27 school year.
With your support, we can reach even more children, creating opportunities to move, grow and thrive through the power of movement.
