Chiles Webster Batson Commission on Sport and Low-Income Neighbourhoods – Summative Report

First launched in 2020 by Adrian Chiles, Charlie Webster and Brendon Batson OBE, the Chiles Webster Batson Commission was established to explore the important role local community organisations play in providing community sport in low-income neighbourhoods: supporting young people and their communities to improve their life chances.

StreetGames is the Secretariat to the Commission, supporting the process of bringing experts (academics, practitioners, policy makers, commissioners) and children and young people together to fulfil the aims of the inquiry.

This final report summarises the information from five Roundtables, each of which drew on existing evidence (scientific papers and practice reports), discussions, testimony and lived experience to identify what is working when it comes to community sport and why.
