Who we are

Changing Young Peoples Lives through Sport

StreetGames is a UK charity on a mission to bring sport to young people’s doorsteps. Sport has the power to make young people safer, happier and healthier, but low-income households and under-served communities often miss out.

Together with our network of 1,600 community partners, we’re providing equal opportunities through sport.

For over 4 million children and young people living in low-income households and under-served communities, access is often expensive and exclusive, and those who need these opportunities most are too frequently left behind.

We believe every young person deserves a chance to participate.

We deliver positive change using a tried-and-tested way of working called Doorstep Sport. This is the core of everything we do: ensuring young people in under-served communities get the chance to participate in sport in a way that is accessible, inclusive, and relevant to them.

We help our community partners provide activities at the right time, place and price, and in the right style. We also provide training, ensuring delivery of activities by the right people.

Our culture and values

We hold each other accountable to these values and ensure that we live our values when working with external partners and/or young people. We are: People Centred, Passionate, Positive, Pragmatic and Courageous.

StreetGames is a special place to work. Our workplace is a community of talented people who work in innovative and co-productive ways. How we work together reflects a commitment we make to each other. We are committed to: Respecting evreyone, Being inclusive, Being team players, Being collaborative, Learning together, Acting with Integrity, being Agile and Being the People beside the People.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

StreetGames is fully committed to the principles of equality of opportunity and is responsible for ensuring that no job applicant, employee, volunteer or member receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of age, gender, disability, race, ethnic origin, nationality, colour, parental or marital status, pregnancy, religious belief, class or social background, sexuality or political belief.

StreetGames is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expects all employees and volunteers to share this commitment.

We do not want recruitment for diversity to simply be a tick box exercise at StreetGames, it is the right thing to do and the smartest way for us to do our business and enabling us to be representative of the communities we serve, and creating a diverse team is in the best interest of all our stakeholders.
