LtPF would not work without the support of our network of local, regional and national delivery partners. Each partner has been selected based on their responsibility, suitability and commitment to achieving the aims and objectives of LtPF.

Our governance assures a range of practical steps is taken to manage the appropriate use of charitable funds and the selection of partners. This provides a solid platform to building a multi-stakeholder partnership working with over 60 different organisations to level the playing field, evidence what works and scale up across England and Wales.

If you would like to work with LtPF, by helping to increase the support and opportunities for our beneficiaries, providing resources for our local delivery partners or working with us to scale up, please get in touch.

"We aim to build a more positive culture and repair distrust between children and the Criminal Justice System, helping to eradicate its inherent discrimination and systematic racism."

James Mapstone - Chief Executive, Alliance of Sport

LtPF has multiple stakeholders all working collaboratively to create a level playing field by:

  • Increasing the number of ethnically diverse children involved in suitable sport and physical activity offerings, well placed to increase health and life outcomes; and
  • Reducing the number of ethnically diverse children involved with the Criminal Justice System.
To achieve our common goals, partners must agree to share resources, risk and responsibility. Our commitment to all partners is to hold the following values at the centre of LtPF:

  • Respect: We recognise and fully respect that every partner has a vital contribution to make in the decision-making and development of LtPF regardless of their role, level of resource and status.
  • Trust: We understand that partnerships are built on trust and that delivering systematic change won’t be easy. We must be open, transparent and deliver on our promises when we say we will.
  • Shared value: We seek to understand and support our partners so that they are better placed to support the achievement of our common goals.

By proving our theory and scaling up across England and Wales, we aim to build and galvanise a positive culture and put an end to the inherent discrimination and systematic racism that exists within the Criminal Justice System.

To build the right culture, we are securing support from the top-down, building clear processes to enable effective communication and delivery, and recognising and championing the people who make the programme work.
