Why Your Support Matters

Every single day, your belief in our mission helps us to achieve something extraordinary. We extend our deepest gratitude to the trusts, foundations, corporate partners, and individual supporters who play a vital role in transforming young people’s lives through sport.

Through your support, we enable more young people to experience the power of sport, making them safer, happier and healthier. We bring sport directly to the doorsteps of young people living in low-income and under-served communities, and we use our platform as a UK charity to amplify their voices. 

Trusts & Foundations: Collaborating for Lasting Change

We achieve shared goals and create lasting change by fostering collaboration, innovation, and mutual values with our partners. Our strong track record shows we use funding effectively and strategically.

We value every type of support, as each serves a unique and valuable purpose:

  • Project-Specific Funding: Supports targeted local programmes, co-designed with young people and communities to meet local needs.
  • Core Funding: Enables StreetGames to stay focused on our mission, supports us to strengthen infrastructure, such as governance, fundraising, monitoring and evaluation, and staff development, helping to improve efficiency and effectiveness, and long-term sustainability. 
  • Unrestricted Funding: Allows flexibility to respond to emerging needs, innovate and invest in strategic development, and leverage additional match funding for greater impact.

Trusts & Foundations funding in Action

We are proud to work with partners including Pears Foundation, City Bridge Foundation, and Millby Foundation to help us deliver our transformational work in under-served communities.
