PERFORMANCE PLUS – MADE THROUGH SPORT
The mission of PPS is to get the best out of young people through sport. We are committed to supporting young sportspeople with the right attitude, creating opportunities for those who wouldn’t have had the chance otherwise. We believe in the power of sport, and the positive impact it can have.
Our vision is to find and support the most deserving and in need young people, and develop the most impactful programmes to make a difference through sport and eventually influence a more socially mobile society.
What we do
We are a sports charity that offers programme support and delivery – creating sustainable and regular opportunities to groups of young sportspeople as well as individual support programmes – essential support to the most deserving individuals. We provide mentorship – valuable guidance to all the programmes we deliver and individuals we support. This is offered as a pathway of support across three target areas; community progression, sport advancement, career path and across a variety of sports.

Philosophy and Values
We believe in the power of sport, and the positive impact it can have
Performance
We support young sportspeople with the right attitude; where they have a performance mindset who are willing and able.
We support those who want to do more and want to be better.
We enable progress by offering opportunities and individual support programmes to the most deserving.
Plus
We support, rather than directly fund (we are not just a funding body).
Mentorship is the tool we use to get the best out of the young sportspeople that we support.
PPS offers a structure where support is offered as a pathway across three target areas.
Success and progress within this structure is relative, not just of the highest level.
Sport
Sport is the tool we use to get the best out of young sportspeople.
To have fun and make friends for life through sport.
PPS STORY
PPS was born in November 2016, by a group of people ambitious and driven to get the best out of young sportspeople.
We started by offering individual support programmes to young performance tennis players. In September 2018, and registered as an official charity, we launched a growth strategy to build programmes and support in three target areas and across different sports. Seeking to find potential and “polish the diamond”!
As a family-run charity we are driven to give a sporting opportunity to young people, level the playing field and give the chance to engage in sport and perform to their best.
