Coram Voice Managing Director Brigid Robinson MBE and Care Experienced Ambassador Jack Phelps joined cricket star Sir Andrew Strauss at a Downing Street reception hosted by the Prime Minister on 16 March 2026 to champion the transformative impact of grassroots sport facilities. The event also saw the launch of the £400 million Community Sport Facilities Programme.
Coram Voice was invited as a result of our contribution to the Local Government Association’s 2025 publication Guidance on improving opportunities for physical activity for care-experienced children and young people.
The report called on the Government to prioritise care-experienced children and young people in the forthcoming physical activity strategy, and to track their physical activity levels so care-experienced children and young people and care leavers can have access to and benefit from being physically active.
