Sports Mode
Sports Mode is a youth-led platform unlocking access to sport by partnering with schools, colleges, parks, and community spaces to open up their facilities outside of school hours. We want to create free or low-cost sessions so young people can get active in their local area, especially those who lose access to PE after Year 11 or face barriers like cost or distance.
We exist because too many young people are cut off from sport when it should be part of everyday life. Whether it’s unused pitches or closed-off halls, our mission is to turn those spaces into active, welcoming places where movement, play, and community can thrive — no matter your background.
2026 World Cup Watch Party
Join us for an unforgettable watch party of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final on the big screen. Your ticket includes a free meal, snack or chilled dessert, and a free drink. Under 5s go free and discounts for kids & teens available!
Tramshed, Woolwich is minutes from the Elizabeth line, DLR, National Rail and buses, so it's easy to reach from right across London.
All proceeds help widen access to sport for young people across London.

Sports Mode is proud to be part of Go! London.
In the third cohort of the Go! London Young Entrepreneurs Programme, delivered by the School for Social Entrepreneurs, we will join other participants to support thousands of young Londoners through physical activity and sport!
From improving the physical and mental wellbeing of young people, to developing vital employability skills, we know the transformative power of physical activity and sport.
With support from the Go! London Partnership – made up of the Mayor of London, Sport England and London Marathon Foundation, with London Marathon Events and London Sport – we can establish our work to open up local spaces, particularly schools, to create new opportunities for young people to get active, lead sessions, and connect with their communities through sport.
By investing nearly £20m into the capital over the next few years, the Go! London Fund is the biggest ever community sports fund in the capital. The Go! London priorities are targeted towards helping underserved children and young Londoners aged 4–24 to:
improve their wellbeing (physical and mental);
improve their employability skills;
better connect them to their communities;
improve their safety;
reduce their loneliness; and
create positive experiences of being physically active.
