Since our establishment, our mission has been clear
Doorstep Sport: Placing young people at the centre of everything that we do.
Behind DS lie the following Core Principles: Providing accessible, affordable opportunities for informal sports in local communities through vibrant, varied, fun, and sociable sessions.
DS is much more than just a sports session. Our sessions are designed to develop:
Our Values
SOYD in education settings
We offer schools a range of services bespoke to the requirements of each individual school that we partner with. At SOYD, we work with schools to develop a safe and supportive learning environment that also promises a fun and energising experience that will leave children wanting to come back again and again
Schools that partner with us will energise the school environment with round the clock activity! Our dedicated team of activity experts are passionate about engaging children in physical activity. By keeping children active, they can enjoy a huge range of benefits which include; mental, social, emotional, physical and educational benefits.
Building safer, stronger communities through sport In disadvantaged, low-income areas, young people encounter many obstacles, making them susceptible to either falling victim to or participating in youth-related crime. Interventions centred around sport play a crucial role in disrupting this cycle by offering valuable support and mentorship to young individuals. SOYD endeavours to address the pressing twin issues of boredom and alienation, recognised as major contributors to criminal activities and disruptive behaviour, by engaging young people with their communities and presenting them with inspiring opportunities. Our team of highly qualified staff and carefully selected local volunteers not only provide essential structure and expertise but also serve as tangible evidence of the transformative influence of sports. This approach redirects misguided energy, ultimately empowering at-risk youth to forge a positive path forward.
Empowering Young People in Underserved Communities for Healthier, Happier Futures.
Engaging in sports and maintaining physical activity offers numerous advantages for both our physical and mental well-being. Regular exercise significantly lowers the risk of various major illnesses, such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Furthermore, staying physically active contributes to improved mood, stress reduction, and a decreased likelihood of experiencing depression and anxiety.
Despite these benefits, many young people growing up in low-income, underserved communities often encounter limited or nonexistent opportunities to participate in sport and access the transformative advantages it provides.
We firmly believe that the right to engage in sport and enjoy its benefits should be accessible to all, not just a privilege for a select few. Through our Doorstep Sport approach, we are dismantling traditional barriers to physical activity. By doing so, we aim to support young people in underserved communities, enabling them to lead lives that are not only healthier but also happier.

Ensuring Access to Free Activities and Nutritious Meals for Young People throughout Kent and Medway during School Holidays
The school holidays can pose significant challenges for young people, with holidays often synonymous with hardship, hunger, and isolation. Families in underserved communities frequently grapple with the financial strain associated with covering additional food and childcare expenses during this period.
In 2017, SOYD introduced 'Fit and Fed,' a year-round initiative designed to address the triple inequalities faced by young people in underserved communities. In collaboration with local organisations and StreetGames, Fit and Fed offers complimentary holiday activities accompanied by nourishing meals, specifically catering to children and young people who are most in need. This programme aims to alleviate the burdens faced by families during school holidays by providing essential support and fostering a sense of community.

SOYD has truly worked wonders in our school community, especially with those students who were once disengaged and had a negative perspective on PE and sports. Their approach is nothing short of inspiring. They've managed to turn skeptics into enthusiasts, making physical activity not just accessible but genuinely enjoyable for everyone. The transformation I've witnessed in these students—moving from inactive and disinterested to active participants who now embrace the positive impact of sports—is a testament to the incredible work SOYD is doing.
Parent, Chatham
In our community, our kids struggle for things to do. Thanks to organisations like SOYD our youngsters get the opportunity to participate in positive activity on a weekly basis. My youngest has been taking part in sessions for 2 years now and it has been amazing seeing the transformation in his confidence.
Fit and Fed continues to benefit the local community not just around eating more healthy and being more active but ALSO making lots of new friends. lots of the kids band together, they walk to fit and fed they walk home together from fit and fade, when not at fit and fed they're all talking to each other about who's going to be there, who's not going to be there giving them something to look forward to.
without this project most would probably be at home playing their xbox or their PlayStation at worse they might be out on the streets getting up to no good.

Welcome to Daddy Bear Grills
Where Fire Meets Flavour
🔥 Pull up a seat by the fire and get ready for an adventure. 🔥
If the crackle of burning logs, the mouthwatering aroma of fire roasted meat, and the joy of cooking in the great outdoors make your heart beat a little faster, then you’ve just found your people. Welcome to Daddy Bear Grills, where we take open fire cooking to the next level, mixing age old traditions with a modern love for flavour, fire, and good company.
This journey started with our head fire chef, Wayne, who learned to cook over the flames from his late mother, Liz the inspiration behind Liz’s Yard. She taught him that cooking isn’t just about food; it’s about gathering, sharing, and making memories. That’s exactly what we’re here to do.
Wayne has always followed his passions with creating amazing businesses. Running three successful businesses through his passion of boxing and sport, delivering in schools and disadvantaged communities. His other passion is cooking over fire, wild camping and being outdoors. In 2024 Wayne entered the British Live Fire Cooking Championships to showcase his skills which led to him being a finalist competing on stage at the iconic Ludlow Castle. It is here where the once dream of Daddy Bear Grills truly ignited.
Wayne, alongside his business mentor and advisor Jeannette, decided it was now time to launch Daddy Bear Grills and combine their skills to build a magnificent business to create the magic for other people.
Jeannette is a highly experienced corporate CEO turned entrepreneur guiding corporate clients, small & mid-size enterprises and executives to new heights. With over 30 years of global expertise, she empowers individuals and Boards through mentoring and strategic advice. Jeannette is also a highly experienced investor with a multi-sector portfolio of businesses. Jeannette’s leadership, backed by her BRAVE BOLD BRILLIANT ethos, fosters high performance in business and drives tangible results.
At Daddy Bear Grills, we specialise in authentic live fire cooking experiences, bringing the passion of Argentinian asado, Brazilian churrasco, and British classics over the flames to life. Whether it’s on a Kadai Firebowl, an Asado Grill, or over a roaring campfire, we’re all about embracing fire cooking in its rawest, most delicious form.
We don’t just cook over fire we live it, breathe it, and teach it. Here’s what you can expect from us:
