Why Coach Core?

If you don’t know who Coach Core are, we are a UK Charity and Sport England System Partner who uses the long-term power of sport and Apprenticeships to truly change the lives of young adults across the UK who traditionally may experience barriers, discrimination, and lack of opportunities.

We work with national and local employers across the UK to support them to create a powerful and measurable ripple effect of positive change in challenging communities, through high-quality sport and physical activity delivered/organised by relatable young role models.


We strongly believe that the majority of organisations will see significant benefits from bringing an apprentice into their workforce. Coach Core has worked with nearly 200 employers for 10 years now, helping them bring in apprentices, with hugely successful results. You can find more information on the benefits of hiring an apprentice here.


We have a diverse range of employers from across sports for development, sport & physical activity and arts & culture sectors including.


  • NGBs include England Boxing, British Cycling & Welsh Rugby Union.

  • National organisations such as The National Trust, Nuffield Health and GLL

  • Local organisations, as an example in the North East (Northumberland, Tyne & Wear and the Tees Valey)  we have worked with organisations including Middlesbrough Football Club Foundation, Newcastle United Foundation, Newcastle Falcons, Newcastle Eagles, Percy Park Rugby Club, Northumberland County Council, St Johns Primary School, Hat-trick, Projects 4 Change, Middlesbrough Public Health, Sunderland Community Action Group, Sporting Chance & Tees Active to name just a few.
