Coventry Sports Foundation is a charitable Trust and limited company registered in England, with a mission to; "provide a wide range of sporting, recreational, educational and social activities to under-represented and disadvantaged community groups and individuals within Coventry." The Foundation represents a management merger that was finalised in April 2000, between two formerly independent Trusts in Coventry - Centre AT7 Trust Ltd, which targeted inner city deprivation in the North East of the city from its Sports Centre base Centre AT7; and The Midland Sports Centre for the Disabled Trust Ltd, which aimed at providing sporting services and opportunities to disabled participants around the Midlands from its Sports Centre base at The Midland Sports Centre. In 2008, the new Xcel Leisure Centre replaced the Midland Sports Centre. In 2004, the Foundation also assumed the management of the Alan Higgs Centre in Allard Way, under contract with the Alan Higgs Centre Trust who had funded the construction of this magnificent centre in an effort to reach communities within another important area of regeneration within the city. Therefore, the Foundation now reaches those in the North East of Coventry from Centre AT7; the South East of the city from The Alan Higgs Centre; and the South West of the city from the Xcel Leisure Centre.
