Impact Report 2025

The Golf Foundation is the UK's leading junior golf charity, introducing young people to the game through schools, clubs and communities and building a pathway from first taster session to lifelong club membership. Its 2025 Impact Report highlights the GolfSixes League's continued growth to 800 clubs nationwide, strong gains in girls' participation, and a new partnership as Official Charity of the BMW PGA Championship, against a backdrop of concern that fewer young people are being introduced to golf in schools than the year before. This entry draws on the charity's own live Impact Report pages rather than a static PDF, since those pages function as the charity's published report.
