In October 2022 the DfE commissioned Active Partnerships in collaboration with StreetGames, UK Active and Youth Sport Trust to undertake work over a three-year period aimed at helping schools to open their facilities outside of the school day in areas where it is most needed.
As a consortium partner, StreetGames delivered on three distinct aspects:
1. Helping schools to embed youth voice at the heart of the Opening School Facilities (OSF) programming.
2. Enabling schools to think more broadly about the people needed to implement the types of activities to ensure they align with the preferences of the young people.
3. Connecting schools to our extensive network of community partners that provide Doorstep Sport for young people in local community settings, to assist with delivery and engagement with young people.
This report details the findings that have emerged from embedding youth voice into the heart of the OSF programme.
