RESEARCH AND INSIGHTS
The 2025 StreetGames summer residential took place from the 25th to 27th August at Plas Y Brenin in Eryri National Park. The three-day residential brought together young people who had engaged with holiday activities and food (HAF) programmes with community organisations in Derbyshire and Birmingham.
The event was organised by StreetGames in partnership with the staff at Plas Y Brenin. The residential
aimed to provide young people with a variety of new experiences, with a particular focus on:
- Taking part in outdoor and adventurous activities
- Exploring a new environment
- Challenging themselves and stepping outside their comfort zone
- Enjoying positive and memorable experiences
- Developing teamwork and collaboration skills
- Interacting and building connections with young people from outside of their normal setting
StreetGames has been delivering residentials since 2007, giving young people from underserved communities the chance to step outside their local area, try new activities, and build confidence. For many, it’s their first opportunity to spend time away from home, which is an experience that broadens horizons, creates lasting friendships, and develops skills that stay for life. They often return home with different outlooks on life and feel motivated for the future.
