Channel Five has partnered with digital station the Community Channel and a host of sporting celebrities, including tennis legend Boris Becker, to produce a TV show about the impact sport has on people's lives.
The eight-part series, called 'Your Sport', describes the ways sport has improved people's lives across the UK and the world, and how it makes a positive contribution at a local level.
Initiatives featured in the programme include crime reduction project Midnight Basketball, which is supported by Becker, and Gamechangers, an initiative that encourages youngsters to volunteer as local sports coaches.
The series will also feature British Olympic boxing champion James de Gale, 2012 gymnastics hopeful Louis Smith, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk and four-time Olympic gold medallist Michael Johnson.
Ian Dunkley, commissioning editor of factual entertainment at Channel Five, said: "Channel Five is delighted to be involved with the Community Channel and 'Your Sport' in such a topical area of programming.
"We hope to engage viewers with the work that is being carried out in a number of sporting initiatives across the UK designed to drive home the importance of sport at every level."
