This month, The Sheffield 1000 are proud to donate £1000 to Mettle, an organisation dedicated to helping people become happier, healthier, fitter and stronger.

Unlike other gyms, Mettle is about more than physical fitness. They build confidence, foster friendships, and create inclusive spaces where everyone – from adults to girls and young people – can thrive. Their Inclusion Academy, run in partnership with British Weight Lifting, ensures sport is accessible to all, with bursaries, scholarships and funded programmes that reduce barriers and open opportunities.

Our donation has made a huge difference to their members – helping reduce costs for their summer residential trip and providing two fully funded places for young people who face financial restrictions. For those youths, it means not just a chance to train, but to be part of a life-changing experience that raises aspirations and supports mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.

We’re inspired by the way Mettle uses sport to tackle inequalities, boost confidence and build stronger communities. We’re delighted to play a role in supporting their work.

Thank you to our members for making this donation possible
