Find the sport you love

Channel 4 has a campaign called 'Find the sport you love' where Billy Bridge and Richard Sargeant go on a mission to get more young people involved in sport. One of their favourite slogans is 'Sport can be as powerful as medication in treating depression'. They know this all too well as they are both disasblility athletes competing at international level in the sport wheelchair basketball.  They even say that sport saved their lives!

Why is it so important?
Only 42% of 16 to 19 year olds play any organised sport!


'Our campaign is about getting more people to play sport. It’s good for your physical and mental health, sport literally makes you happy! But still not enough people are doing regular exercise. We’re going to be showing people why sport matters and helping everyone find a sport they can fall in love with. Support our campaign to make everyone healthier and happier.' quote the two boys.
