"Giving kids a break"
The Balkan Wars of the 90s left Serbia and Montenegro with the largest population of refugees and IDPs in Europe. Many of these refugees are teenagers and young children. Our mission is to give these kids a break.
Sporting Hearts have taken thousands of refugee and Roma children on day trips to places as exciting and diverse as a river cruses on the Danube, sports camps in Fruska Gora national park, trips to Belgrade zoo and magical excursions to the wonderful world of the children's theatre club. These trips are always fun and educational and together with our, music and photography, workshops the children learn new skills, make new friends, grow in confidence and build self esteem.

Sporting Hearts is a registered charity based in Northern Ireland and we rely solely on charitable donations to fund our Kids projects. We are a non-political and non-religious organisation and our aim to help all children who have suffered as a result of war or have been disadvantaged due to ethnic or religious prejudice in the former Yugoslavia.

We also provide funding for the relief of poverty, the advancement of education and the promotion of health and wellbeing among children.
