New Reach expands sport for good portfolio with Greenhouse Sports

Sport for development charity Greenhouse Sports has appointed New Reach PR to drive positive media profile in 2024.

The East Sussex-based communications agency will be working closely with the charity over the next year to support its new strategy, following the launch of ‘Greenhouse 2.0+ - The Way Forward’.

Greenhouse Sports is a charity that uses sports coaching and mentoring to empower young people who are facing disadvantage and help them to unlock their full potential. Operating in London for more than 20 years, and now with recently established programmes in Portsmouth and Leicester, Greenhouse Sports works with around 8,000 youngsters every year in over 70 coaching programmes across basketball, table tennis, volleyball, tennis and cricket.

Sport and social impact communications agency New Reach specialises in delivering impact through PR, social media and video and has been brought in by Greenhouse Sports to deliver traditional PR and media relations support to reach and engage new and existing stakeholders with the charity’s new vision and mission.

Greenhouse Sports’ Head of Communications, Ben Wyatt, said: “We are delighted to have Nick and New Reach joining our ‘Team for Life’ to support our urgent need and ambitious goals to reach a wider and influential audience and affect real change for the young people and communities Greenhouse Sports coaches support. The rising tide of poverty in the UK is increasing the mental, physical and emotional burden on the young people’s development. Pressures that our coaches work to alleviate day in and day out.

“New Reach have expertise and a proven track record in delivering extensive media engagement and landing the narratives and storylines to evidence how sport and the kind of work Greenhouse Sports does has a lasting and transformational effect on young people, their families and society as a whole.”

New Reach has a track record of working with charities in the sport for good sector, including the likes of London Youth Rowing, Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, Restart Rugby, London Sport, Hampshire Cricket Foundation and more, delivering powerful media coverage, social media and video content.

Nick Rewcastle, Managing Director and Founder at New Reach added: “The work being done by Greenhouse is transforming lives in some of the poorest communities in the country. Greenhouse’s impact in London over the last two decades is now being expanded and made available to other communities, and storytelling is a vital part of this journey.

“We know the powerful role that strategic comms can play in this space, driving further opportunity for growth. We are extremely passionate about the work being done by Greenhouse and can’t wait to become a part of the team.”
