Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 The YogoJo has made significant
achievements in various areas,
demonstrating their commitment to
fostering community engagement,
education, and sports development. Their
efforts have notably involved collaboration
with local schools and sports clubs,
advocating for change at the UK
Parliament, and creating valuable online
resources for young rugby players.
One of the primary achievements of the
charity has been their engagement with
local schools and sport clubs. Recognizing
the importance of inclusivity and sports
education, they have actively partnered
with schools to provide opportunities for
children and teenagers to incorporate yoga
into rugby and other activities. By
organizing co-curricular sessions and
workshops, the charity has encouraged
young individuals to develop their skills,
fostering physical fitness, teamwork, and
leadership qualities.
Moreover, they have established strong
relationships with local sports clubs, aiming
to bring communities together through
yoga. This partnership has facilitated
increased participation in rugby and
created avenues for achieving excellence
in the sport.
Another notable achievement of the charity
was their presentation in the UK Parliament
for the All-Party Parliamentary Group.
Through dedicated advocacy efforts, they
successfully raised awareness about the
importance of supporting kids and teens
through yoga and the benefits yoga brings
to individuals and society as a whole. By
highlighting the positive impact of yoga on
physical and mental well-being, community
cohesion, and personal development, the
charity effectively contributed to shaping
policies and securing government support
for youth initiatives.

Additionally, the charity recognized the need for accessible resources to inspire and guide children, adolescents and their families. To address this, they created an innovative series of Pitch Ready videos available on the YogoJo Foundation YouTube channel specifically designed for aspiring rugby athletes. The platform provides a wealth of resources, including training videos and mental resilience tools. By making these resources freely available, the charity has empowered young players to improve their skills, expand their knowledge, and pursue their rugby dreams. The charity has achieved significant milestones in its commitment to promoting mental well-being and positive development among children, teens, and families. One of its main accomplishments has been the establishment of a comprehensive website featuring a variety of yoga-based resources tailored to different age groups, aiming to address the challenges they might be facing. The website provides a wide range of yoga resources specifically designed for kids, teens, and families. These resources include step-by-step yoga poses, guided meditation sessions, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques. The charity recognized the importance of tailoring these resources to the unique needs and circumstances of each age group. By doing so, they have made yoga accessible to children, teens, and families regardless of their prior experience or current challenges. The impact of the charity's efforts is evident through the positive changes in the circumstances of children and teens who have been actively engaged in practicing yoga. The practice of yoga has been shown to have profound effects on mental health, promoting stress reduction, improved focus, enhanced emotional regulation, and increased self-esteem. By providing access to these resources, the charity has positively influenced the mental well-being of countless children and teens, equipping them with valuable tools to navigate the challenges they may face. In addition to the yoga resources, the charity has gone above and beyond by offering access interviews featuring worldrenowned experts and researchers in the field of yoga. By tapping into the knowledge

and expertise of these individuals, the charity ensures that the information shared with children, teens, and families is both accurate and impactful. This exposure to leading figures in the yoga community allows individuals to deepen their understanding of the practice and to stay up-to-date with the latest research and developments. Through their dedication and commitment, the charity has made a significant difference in the lives of children, teens, and families. By creating a user-friendly website with yoga resources tailored to different age groups, they have facilitated access to a practice that positively impacts mental health. Additionally, by offering access to Pitch Ready videos and interviews with experts and researchers, they have ensured that individuals have access to accurate and valuable information. Overall, the charity's achievements have helped transform the circumstances of many individuals and contributed to the promotion of mental wellbeing through the practice of yoga. In conclusion, the charity's achievements have proven instrumental in their mission to promote yoga for physical and mental health of children and adolescents. Through their efforts, they have positively impacted the lives of numerous individuals, fostering a love for yoga, empowering youth, and strengthening communities.
