Advancing Young People through Sport

THE LILLYWHITE FOUNDATION IS A UK NON PROFIT COMPANY (REG NO. 10633481) REGISTERED WITH THE UK CHARITY COMMISSION WITH REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 1176109. THE FOUNDATION WAS ESTABLISHED TO HELP FUND PROJECTS THAT GIVE CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE, BOTH IN THE UK AND INTERNATIONALLY, GREATER OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN SPORT AND SOCIAL ACTIVITY.

The Lillywhite Foundation aims to give young people, both in the UK and abroad, greater opportunities to participate in sports and social activity.
