We were formed out of the Brixton Riots in 1981 and this year is our 40th Anniversary, which we are celebrating with a wide range of exciting, new projects.

Much of our work is in London and we also run programmes in Bristol, Birmingham and Newcastle and regularly work overseas, helping other charities and NGOs develop their own sport for social change programmes. In the year ahead we will be running programmes in Bangladesh, South Africa, the Gambia and Italy. We currently run fourteen innovative programmes in the UK, including Street Elite, London Futures, Netball4Change and Girls Win, all of which you can learn more about from our website. Street Elite is an award-winning training for work programme, which recruits young people aged 18-25 affected by gangs and crime and supports them into work, training or education. The programme is carefully evaluated and highly effective with 80% of the participants progressing into work, training or education by the end of the programme. On each of our programmes our Coach Mentors use their own lived experience to build trusting relationships with the young people, empowering them to make positive change in their lives.

The charity is known for its pioneering and daring approach and for its ‘innovate and share’ philosophy, which is supported by our own internal Innovation Fund, which any member of staff or any of our young people can apply to for funding to test a new idea.
