Changing Young People's Lives Through Sport

StreetGames is a UK charity on a mission to bring sport to young people’s doorsteps.

Sport has the power to make young people safer, happier and healthier, but low-income households and under-served communities often miss out.

Together with our network of 1,600 community partners, we’re providing equal opportunities through sport.

Sport makes young people safer, happier, and healthier. But for over 4 million children and young people living in low-income households and under-served communities, access is often expensive and exclusive, and those who need these opportunities most are too frequently left behind.

We believe every young person deserves a chance to participate. We need your support to transform this system and change lives.

WHEN SPORT IS A PRIVILEGE, YOUNG PEOPLE LOSE OUT. WE FIGHT FOR ACCESS AND UNLOCK OPPORTUNITY ACROSS THE UK.

We’re on a mission to bring sport to young people’s doorsteps. How Will You Play Your Part?

Sport has changed my life because it’s given me something to work for and something to be a part of.

The #UpMyStreet campaign is designed to celebrate the impact of StreetGames and our community partners and bring our work to life: showcasing impact through the voices of young people telling their stories of how StreetGames and community sport have helped them. Find out more

We Empowerthe PeopleWho TransformLives

Big change starts small, in local parks, sports halls and community centres. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the people running those sessions, helping them do what they do best. While they bring sport to life locally, we push for change nationally so that every young person gets a fair chance.
