Our Approach: StreetGames & National Governing Bodies
We partner with National Governing Bodies (NGBs) who have a desire to develop their sport to meet the needs of young people from low-income, underserved communities.
The Goal: All mainstream sports providers change their practice to meet the needs of young people from low-income, underserved communities.
The starting point is often an NGB self-reflection analysis on how their sport currently meets the needs of these young people.
Our collaborative model focuses on six interconnected areas help understand how together we can create pathways to change:

Mutual Value: Opening Up Your Sport
Working together we will clearly identify the challenges that matter to you the most. Using a supportive partnership approach we will identify a clear action plan together. This could include a refresh of activator training, training programmes for your workforce or place based test and learn pilots co-designed by young people. We will work at the pace that is right for your sport but at all times putting the needs and desires of young people from under-served communities at the heart of our thinking.
