Tyrone typifies the selflessness of all Co-operative StreetGames Young Volunteers. He started volunteering when he was 15 having decided to give local children the opportunities that he didn't have growing up. His passion is basketball and the drive he's shown has had massive impact on the sport in his area.

Recognising you are drifting towards trouble can be difficult. When you are in the centre of a group, you cannot always step outside and see the potential there is for steering your life along the wrong path. Fortunately for Leon McCollin, he was able to do just that. He hasn’t looked back since.

Few of us are blessed with the inner strength of Jason Sarginson. Just 18 short months ago, with life spinning viciously into a tailspin, Jason was without hope and even a home. 

He had relocated to Stoke-on-Trent from nearby Cannock due to family issues. He knew nobody there, had no job and had little money on which to survive. He moved into a Salvation Army shelter but instead of sitting alone in his room feeling sorry for himself, he decided to turn his life around.
