Established in 2002, Greenhouse Sports charity is leading the fight for a future where young people are supported and empowered, whatever their challenges, through sport. We coach and mentor young people from deprived backgrounds because the crisis for children living in deprivation is real and it is urgent. Children from the poorest families are 3 times more likely to not participate in any extra-curricular activities compared to those from wealthier families and they lack many opportunities that are available to their wealthier peers.
Greenhouse Sports is a medium sized charity but our work and impact is far-reaching and we think big! We are focused and professional in meeting goals and targets, but know that it is important everyone maintains a healthy work-life balance and feels well looked after. Last year, our annual staff survey said that 95% of respondents to the staff survey say they enjoy working for Greenhouse; 84% say we responded effectively to the pandemic; 80% feel they can express their views openly to their manager; and 90% feel their colleagues are passionate about the work they do for Greenhouse.
