Two more StreetGames projects have featured on the BBC in the past week. The work of StreetGames - Legacy Leaders was profiled on BBC TV for the second time this month when the cameras from BBC South Today visited the StreetGames Pompey Sport & Education Foundation’s Respect Programme in Portsmouth yesterday (25th January) to capture StreetGames in action. In addition to this, Active StreetGames in Hastings was featured on BBC Radio Sussex's Sunday Afternoon Show with Mark Carter last Sunday.

The BBC’s regional news programme for the South of England highlighted our work in bringing a London 2012 sports participation legacy to young people in deprived areas. The young people demonstrated the Paralympic sports of goalball and blindfold football as part of a disability awareness session - which was inspired by Paralympic hopeful Lorraine Lambert - and also showed-off their tennis and running skills.

Louis Faith, one of the programme’s apprentices who now helps coach having joined aged 13, was interviewed and credited the project with keeping him on the straight and narrow.

BBC Radio Sussex’s Mark Carter interviewed Active StreetGames co-ordinator Ken Dullaway, who explained that his project is based in an area which includes four of the top ten wards of highest deprivation in the country and works to help the young people achieve.
