What's it all about?

Hiya, we're Curly's Athletes!

We spend most of our days running events and activities that support people to get moving. We also spend our time working on how we improve things for our communities, support our charity chums and generally try to do 'good things' ... the world can be full of less nice things, so it's nice to be doing nice things and we LOVE WHAT WE DO!

Thank you for supporting us, you lovely person x 🙂

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the kit we bought to get active also helped others get active? Simple idea, right? But surprisingly difficult in practice!

It’s going to be a fun journey to get there — and by buying this kit, you’ve helped us make a start in moving with purpose!

When you buy lovely things from us, you’re creating micro-grants that help people get active.

These are focussed on the local area based on where you collect or have the item delivered to x 

Why?
Because exercise is a “miracle drug” for both mental and physical health — it’s genuinely life-changing.
We want to do everything we can to help as many people as possible get active, live longer, and live better.

There are so many talented, amazing people out there — clubs, charities, and individuals — already doing great things to help their communities get moving. We want to help them do even more good stuff.

We’ll admit, we’re a little frustrated that some companies making profits from people getting active don’t always put much back in. That doesn’t sit right with us… so we’re stepping up! (Sorry, that’s our slightly grumpy side 😅 — but we do love having something to battle for x)

Now, imagine this:

That’s the future we’re imagining — and it’s an exciting place to be.

Who do we help?

We hope you love getting active — but we know it’s not always easy. Sometimes it’s hard to find the time, the money, or even to feel comfortable in an active space.

Some people in our communities face even bigger challenges, so that’s where we want to help.

Our grants are targeted at projects that break down these barriers. Examples include supporting:

People facing economic hardship, Those with long-term health conditions, People with physical or learning difficulties, Women & girls, Older people, Minority groups.

How does it work?

When you buy something from us, 10% of the price you pay goes directly into our micro-grants.

No sneaky “percentage of profit” — it’s simple:
👉 You pay £100 → £10 goes straight into micro-grants.

These grants add up in each area until they reach at least £250. Then, through local partners, we direct them to clubs, communities, or charities who are helping people facing inequalities to get active.

One more thing... we’re just trying to Be Better, Not Perfect.

We’re setting out on this adventure with big ambitions to do as much good as we can. We know we’re not perfect — we’ll learn along the way — but we’ll always do our very best to make a difference.

And we think that’s a great motto for getting active too:
✨ Don’t feel pressured. Just do what you can.
✨ Be Better, Not Perfect.
