Thank you to everyone below who will be delivering workshops on the day!
We have 310 students joining us on this day from 19 different GDST schools, which is very exciting! This is going to be a BIG programme day!
The students will all be able to select their workshops on the day and will be guaranteed their first-choice workshop. They will then be allocated a second and third choice by us. We will be allocating approximately 30 students to each session (swimming will be less). Katie will send through any additional information you require for your sessions and confirm what equipment you have.

The Mintridge Foundation is a registered charity dedicated to enhancing life skills in young people through sport. We provide a support network for young people by harnessing the power of positive sporting role models. The Mintridge Foundation assists young people of all ages, abilities and physical capabilities to develop confidence and resilience, and creates awareness of the importance of mental and physical wellbeing through sport.
Our team of Ambassadors - Olympians, Paralympians and other professional sports stars from over 20 sports, both team and individual - work with young people in schools, clubs and academies across the UK. Starting with visits including assemblies, coaching clinics and classroom sessions tailored to each organisation’s requirements, our ambassadors can then provide one- on- one remote mentoring in a safeguarded environment, delivered via technology to build a lasting legacy for individuals.
The Mintridge Foundation’s successes demonstrate the incredible power of sport; from a mentee’s selection to represent Great Britain in their chosen field to enabling disabled children to find confidence and happiness just through participation. Understanding life after sport, we also support our Ambassadors in their transition from active sport to the next stage of their careers.
If you would like to understand more about our mentoring programmes with sporting role models and how they can support young people, please contact Katie Smith.
