"Ownership, leadership & empowerment of the most excluded communities, to make change happen through sport."
We’re getting more locals involved in sports and physical activity
As a result we want to see more local young people in leadership roles, volunteering, jobs and education.
We’re creating a strong, collaborative community that’s supporting social change through sport
The coalition is growing sustainably, with diverse local leadership giving a voice to underrepresented groups in the community.
We’re increasing inclusivity and a sense of belonging for younger people
Younger generations are reporting that they are feeling happier, healthier and feel more confident as a result of taking part in local activities.
We’re improving relationships between young people and community role models to reduce crime risk
By increasing trust between boys, men and organisations, we’re giving at-risk youth better role models to reduce the risk and harm from knife crime.
We’re giving a voice to underrepresented residents
We're building a diverse coalition where everyone benefits from being involved and is represented by our collective voice.
