Our Mission
Our mission at Belgravia Foundation
At the Belgravia Foundation, we believe that participation in sport, recreation at outdoor activities changes lives.
Being active is about more than sport or exercise. It builds confidence, improves physical and mental health, strengthens social connections and creates pathways for people to reach their full potential. Yet for many Australians, barriers such as cost, disability, disadvantage, isolation or access continue to prevent participation.
Our mission is simple: to create more opportunities for people to move, connect and belong.
Guided by our vision of Active Kids, Healthy Lives and Connected Communities, we work alongside partners, communities and supporters to ensure that every person has the opportunity to experience the benefits of sport, recreation, leisure and physical activity.
Getting One Million Kids Active
The Belgravia Foundation proudly supports the vision of our Patron, Geoff Lord, whose life’s work has been dedicated to increasing participation in physical activity and building healthier communities.
For more than three decades, Geoff has championed the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to discover the joy, confidence and lifelong benefits that come from being active. Through the Belgravia Group’s extensive network of leisure centres, swim schools, gymnastics clubs, dance programs, outdoor education experiences and community initiatives, millions of children have already been introduced to active lifestyles.
But there is still more to achieve.
Our shared ambition is to help one million children participate in physical activity every year, creating opportunities for young people to develop healthy habits, improve wellbeing, build resilience and experience a sense of belonging.
Whether a child finds their passion in swimming, gymnastics, dance, team sports, outdoor adventure or recreation, we believe participation is the foundation for healthier futures and stronger communities.
Through strategic partnerships, community programs and targeted initiatives, the Foundation exists to help turn this vision into reality.
No One Misses Out
Every child, young person and family should have the opportunity to participate, regardless of their circumstances.
Unfortunately, financial hardship, disability, social disadvantage, transport challenges and other barriers often prevent people from accessing the programs and activities that could positively change their lives.
The Belgravia Foundation’s “No One Misses Out” commitment is dedicated to breaking down these barriers.
Through fundraising, donations, grants and partnerships, we provide practical support that helps individuals and families access sport, recreation, leisure and wellbeing opportunities that may otherwise be beyond reach.
This support may include:
Our goal is simple: no one should miss out because of circumstances beyond their control.
Every dollar raised helps create opportunities for people to be active, connected and included. Together, we can remove barriers, open doors and ensure that every person has the chance to participate, belong and thrive.
Creating Lasting Impact
At the Belgravia Foundation, we know that when people participate, communities prosper.
By helping more children become active and ensuring that no one misses out, we are investing in healthier individuals, stronger families and more connected communities for generations to come.
Together, we can create a future where everyone has the opportunity to move, connect and belong.
