WPA Benevolent Foundation helps Hills Road students stay active

Hills Road Sixth Form College’s Sport department has received another generous grant from the WPA Benevolent Foundation to buy new sports equipment.

Published on 27/10/2026

The Foundation funds projects across the UK that promote good health, with a particular focus on helping schools and colleges provide equipment for physical activity. The latest grant has enabled Hills Road to invest in a wide range of equipment, including basketballs, footballs, tennis balls and netball post covers, helping ensure students have the resources they need to enjoy sport safely and confidently.

Sport at Hills Road is designed to be inclusive, offering something for every level of interest and ability. Students can pursue competitive sport through teams in disciplines including badminton, basketball, cheer, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rowing, rugby, table tennis, tennis and volleyball.

For those who prefer a more relaxed approach, enrichment sport provides a sociable, non-competitive way to stay active, make friends and try something new. Options include social badminton, social basketball, social table tennis, running club, five-a-side football and social volleyball.

We so appreciate WPA Benevolent Foundation’s contribution – this has helped us to invest in vital new equipment which, alongside top-quality coaching, we hope will inspire confidence, teamwork and a lifelong love of sport.

The grant will help ensure that sport remains accessible, enjoyable and high quality for all Hills Road students, from aspiring competitors to those simply looking to enjoy being active with friends.
