Making nutrition accessible to all.

Making nutrition accessible to all.

Talent is everywhere. The nutrition to support it isn’t. The 4Core Foundation will fund performance nutrition for young athletes whose families can’t stretch to it, so what a kid achieves in sport comes down to their effort, not their postcode.

The gap we exist to close

The gap we exist to close

Grassroots sport asks a lot of families. Kit, club fees, travel, competition costs, it adds up fast. Nutrition is usually the first thing to get cut, because it feels optional. It isn’t. A young athlete training four, five, six times a week needs fuel to match. Without it, they tire faster, recover slower, and too often drop out of the sport they love, not for lack of talent, but for lack of support. We’re here to change that.

How we’re funded

An everyday purchase, turned into fuel

An everyday purchase, turned into fuel

The Foundation is backed by 4Core Fuel, our founding supporter. A contribution from every can they sell will come to us, turning an everyday purchase into fuel for a young athlete who needs it. 4Core Fuel launches in winter 2026, so no funds have been raised yet. We are an independent Community Interest Company, every pound will be dedicated to our mission, and we will report openly on where it goes.
