British Workers' Sports Federation

The British Workers' Sports Federation was an organization founded in the early 20th century to promote sports, physical activity, and social camaraderie among working-class individuals in Britain. It aimed to provide affordable recreational opportunities outside of elite or professional sports, encouraging community participation and healthier lifestyles among workers. The federation also aimed to foster solidarity and social engagement, often aligning with leftist and socialist movements, and sought to challenge the influence of mainstream, upper-class sports organizations. Overall, it served as a platform to democratize sports and improve workers' well-being through organized athletic activities.
