The purpose of the Vaughan Sports Foundation is to enable young people from a variety of backgrounds to use sports as a means of development and to build confidence, improve health and further their educational opportunities.

Generally sport within schools has seen a major decline in recent years. One of the key aims of this Foundation is to help reverse that trend by developing a strong extra curricular sporting programme.

The area surrounding the School is one of multi-deprivation. As such, providing solutions to the problems of health, education and social development is essential to ensure the  progress of young people in the area.

Aims of the Sports Foundation

(1) To advance the extra-curricular provision for pupils of The Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities (not required to be provided by the Local Authority) for education at the School.

(2) The promotion of community participation in healthy recreation within the Greater London Area.

(3)To help young people, especially but not exclusively through the provision of sports development courses to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
