Team Up week - 26 January to 1 February 2026

One in four boys and young men aged 11-24 say they feel lonely at least some of the time.

Sport has the power to bring people together in local communities, and through collective action we can help young men to ‘Team Up’ to end isolation.

What is Team Up?

Team Up is a national week of action dedicated to rallying behind young men and boys, helping to ensure they have the support, connection, and confidence to navigate life’s challenges. 

It brings together sporting organisations, communities and clubs to share their events, resources (including guides, apps and blogs) and programmes in local communities. 

Throughout the week we will promote ways to build confidence, resilience and facilitate ways to foster genuine connections among this group.
