Our Mission

We create ‘the Games for Everyone’, innovative, sustainable and socially impactful events, which showcase world-class athletes, engage fans and benefit host communities from all regions of the Commonwealth.
To drive equality in sport and society across the Commonwealth
We create and celebrate a uniquely inclusive and diverse sporting movement, levelling the playing field and addressing inequality in sport in all its forms, so that all people of the Commonwealth know that sport is for them.
To excite and empower athletes and young people
Through sport, we create opportunities for the 60% of Commonwealth citizens under 30.
