Inclusion is, has always been, and will always be at the heart of the StreetGames mission. We are an equity organisation, driven by the absolute belief that access to sport and physical activity that transforms the lives of the UK’s most underserved children and young people requires greater focus, effort and resources than for their more affluent peers.
As a charity which spans the sport and youth sectors, we acknowledge a responsibility to advocate on behalf of those doing this well and influence those who aren’t. We understand our role as a charity working on equality of access for young people from lower socio-economic groups to mean we have a responsibility not to be silent about any equality, diversity and inclusion injustice we see.
As an employer, we strive to be a positive place for staff and contractors to be their whole selves. This requires us to proactively review our procedures, policies and activities to ensure we are doing all we can to provide positive space. In addition, we agree to a responsibility to be open and honest about our experiences as an employer – to share our successes and our challenges.
Our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Strategy challenges us to go further in creating opportunities for inclusion both within our organisation and in the work we do with communities and young people across the UK. Our intentions and planned actions need to deliver real change and longer term impact.
