The Athletics Foundation is a registered charity (110333).
The Foundation aims to facilitate participation and enable the next generation of young British athletes to reach their maximum potential, through creating and developing opportunities for all. The charity also hopes to provide support to individuals to help overcome challenges in order to succeed and achieve their dream.
A number of fundraising activities are underway including The Mile Challenge.
The Mile Challenge is a concept, which gives individuals the opportunity to walk, run or jog a mile and raise money for the Athletics Foundation. The challenge has been run in Norwich Union star:track schemes this summer and will be rolled out to schools and other groups over the next 12-months. GB & NI athletes are visiting groups running the Challenge where possible and children are incentivised to raise money with wristbands and t-shirts.
