StreetGames harnesses the power of sport to create positive change in the lives of disadvantaged young people right across the UK. StreetGames' helps to make young people and their communities healthier, safer and more successful.

Our History

StreetGames is one of the UK's leading 'sport for development' charities - changing lives and transforming communities through the power of sport. Formed in 2007, StreetGames was inspired by the success of joint work conducted by The FA, Football Foundation and other agencies working within disadvantaged areas – places in which young people were almost 50% less likely to be active than their more affluent peers.

Finance and governance

Since its inception in 2007, StreetGames has been an active champion and innovator in the community sport sector. On a day-to-day basis the organisation is led by CEO Jane Ashworth OBE.

Volunteering

There is a growing trend in the UK for companies to do more than simply give money to good causes. Many employees and employers prefer to be actively involved with corporate community investment, which aims to link employees' skills and time to the donation of resources.

Youth Crime Impact Programme

Appropriately-designed sports programmes can help to reduce youth-related crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB) in hotspot areas.

Fit and Fed

StreetGames’ innovative Fit and Fed campaign offers fun physical activities and nutritious, healthy meals, to some of society’s most vulnerable young people.

Join the Network

StreetGames welcomes network applications from community, youth and sport organisations that share the organisation's goal of changing lives, changing communities and changing sport. Successful candidates will receive StreetGames' seal of approval - the StreetMark.

Us Girls

A double award-winning programme, Us Girls is designed to increase and sustain young women’s participation in sport and physical activity within some of the nation’s most disadvantaged communities.
