Sponsor This Event
CAN'T ATTEND? YOU CAN STILL CHANGE A LIFE. Not every young athlete or coach will have the opportunity to attend. If you cannot join us, consider sponsoring one or two coaches or young people to participate on your behalf. Your support can give them access to knowledge, mentorship, professional networks and conversations on mental health, Safe Sport and wellbeing that they can take back to their teams and communities. Sponsor a coach. Support a young person. Strengthen a team. Even supporting one participant can help create a ripple effect far beyond the Summit. Be part of the change even when you cannot be in the room.

NATIONAL SUMMIT ON MENTAL WELLNESS, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY & SPORT 2026
19–20 November 2026 | The Cloud Hotel & Suites, Diamond Plaza, 3rd Parklands, Nairobi
Investing in People, Institutions and Systems to Shape the Future of Physical Activity and Sport Ecosystems
The National Summit on Mental Wellness, Physical Activity & Sport 2026 is a national and multi-sector platform bringing together athletes, coaches, parents policymakers, health and mental health professionals, educators, researchers, sports organisations, youth, development partners, private sector leaders, investors and community champions to shape a healthier, safer, more inclusive and sustainable future.
The Summit recognises that sport is more than performance. Behind every athlete is a person, and behind every sporting success is an ecosystem of coaches, families, schools, clubs, federations, health professionals, institutions and communities.
Across two days, participants will explore practical solutions around:
🧠 Mental Health & Athlete Wellbeing
🏃 Physical Activity & Healthy Communities
🛡️ Safe Sport, Safeguarding & Athlete Protection
👩🦰 Gender, Inclusion & Youth Development
🏫 Schools, Academies & Community Sport
🏛️ Policy, Governance & Stronger Institutions
🔬 Research, Evidence, Technology & Innovation
💰 Investment, Partnerships & Sustainable Sport Ecosystems
WHY ATTEND?
Connect with leaders and practitioners, learn from real experiences and case studies, discover practical tools and solutions, build partnerships, and contribute to the national conversation on the future of mental wellness, physical activity and sport.
The Summit will move from:

Participants will also contribute to the development of practical post-Summit commitments, partnerships and an Action Roadmap to support implementation beyond the event.
