Building Stronger Communities
​
At Smart Body Sports, we believe that strong communities start with strong connections. Through the power of sport, fitness, and teamwork, we bring people together from all walks of life to share experiences, learn from one another, and grow collectively. Our programs are designed not just to improve physical health, but to foster unity, leadership, and social well-being. By creating safe, inclusive spaces where individuals can engage in meaningful physical activity, we empower participants to build confidence, respect, and a lasting sense of belonging. Every game, training session, and event we host is an opportunity to strengthen the bonds that hold our communities together—on and off the field.​

Mental Well Being
We believe the impact sport and physical activity can have on mental wellbeing is every bit as important as the physical benefits. Physical activity can contribute to enjoyment and happiness, and more broadly to life satisfaction through increased social interaction. Volunteers and sports fans also have an increased sense of purpose and pride, while self-esteem and confidence are known to increase through participation or volunteering.
Sport and physical activity also have the potential to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Social & Community Development
As well as developing individuals, sport and physical activity can help build stronger communities by bringing people together. Sport is widely seen as a way for people of different backgrounds to interact and integrate by taking part, volunteering and spectating. It can provide opportunities for migrants to adapt to living in England and can bridge divides between men and women, homeless people and those who are not homeless, and people with different employment backgrounds.
Inactive People
One in four people in England do less than 30 minutes of physical activity a week. But our research also shows that those who do the least activity stand to benefit the most, even if it’s just small changes like gentle jogging, swimming or playing rounders in the park. We know from the experience of other high-income countries, like Finland, the Netherlands and Germany, that this situation can be changed. So, we’re working towards helping everyone experience the benefits that taking part in sport and physical activity brings.
