StreetGames briefing paper

Young women aged between 16 and 24 years of age who live in low income households have much lower volunteering rates than the average rate for their age group. However, since 2008 The Co-operative StreetGames Young Volunteers (CSYV) has supported the development of almost 1,000 young women volunteers.

StreetGames research

With Sport England’s permission, StreetGames used its Sports Equity Index (Active People Survey 2) as a model for a StreetGames Volunteering Equity Index. The Volunteering Equity Index breaks down young people aged 16-24 into different groups, including by race and gender, and shows whether those groups volunteer more or less than the national average of 17.15% - marked by 100 on the Index.
