If you look at a social innovation like Circle Sports, you'll really get the feeling that getting outdoors and moving your body in cooperation with others will really, one day, save the world.
"Circle Sports exists to help young people and the wider community get the best out of themselves," the organization writes on its website. "We help children and young people of all backgrounds to do sport, by making sports kit and clothing affordable and providing practical help." By practical help they mean offering affordable sports clothes and other materials youth might need to get involved in fitness and athleticism. The social enterprise also funds programs and facilities, making it a holistic approach to creating community through the vision of the future: children.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Outdoor Social Fitness
- Innovative social enterprises that encourage outdoor physical activity and building community through fitness and sports sponsorship offer a disruption to traditional fitness models
- Affordable Sports Equipment
- Social enterprises that provide affordable sports equipment to children and young adults offer a disruption to traditional sports retail and increase accessibility around sport and athleticism.
- Community-wide Holistic Programming
- Social enterprises that provide comprehensive and integrated athletic programming and facilities funding address health and socioeconomic disadvantages among marginalized communities and change the traditional models of public health and athletic funding.
Sectors Adopting This
- Social Enterprising
- Innovative social enterprising companies can offer new opportunities for creating community and promoting physical fitness among individuals across socioeconomic groups and supporting marginalized communities.
- Sports Retail
- Sports retail companies can increase their market share by catering to the needs of underprivileged communities and offer affordable sports equipment and technology for all.
- Public Health
- Companies focused on public health can innovate community-wide holistic programming that provides funding for comprehensive athletic programming and fitness facility access to address health disparities among marginalized populations and promote holistic approaches to community well-being.
