The Switch the Play Foundation is the UK’s only charity dedicated to supporting all sportspeople to successfully transition into life outside of sport. We have a vision of a world where every sportsperson fulfils their potential at every stage of their lives. Our mission is to empower sportspeople to be their best through and beyond sport by providing person-centred training, wellbeing, and transition support.
Leaving a life in sport can be tough. Not all sportspeople win gold medals, international caps nor million-pound contracts and when their sporting careers come to an end most will need to start a second career. The evidence shows that for some, this transition can also lead to a loss of identity, a lack of purpose and financial and mental health struggles.
We aim to make athlete transition a positive experience. Preparing sportspeople for that switch will help them fulfil their potential through and outside of sport.
The CRF assisted Switch the Play in collecting funds during a large fundraising dinner at Hemswell Court in Lincolnshire. Prior to STP gaining charitable status – CRF provided the platform for individual and companies to donate.
