Since launching the findings of the 1,000 Young Voices research and youth segments, the findings have been disseminated widely across the sector. However, it was always our intention to use the findings to influence and advocate for change to help create more opportunities for young people living in low-income communities to take part in and enjoy the benefits of sport.
To support this work and build further understanding around the needs of young people who typically have low activity levels, StreetGames recently led a test and learn project together with eight community organisations from our network.
The test and learn project took place between June-December 2024. During this period, organisations were asked to identify and engage a group of young people aged 11-25 years who ‘align’ with one of the three least active segments identified above, co-design an offer with the young people using the youth segment resources and provide circa 16 weeks of delivery.
