The Sports Trust

The purpose of the trust is to create opportunities and increase access in sport participation by providing sports equipment and facilities.

In total we have spent over R45 million on more than 300 projects throughout the country. In addition, SuperSport partners the Sports Trust in an annual sports quiz involving sports journalists. A weekly insert of Sports Trust activities is broadcast on SuperSport channels.
