We have partnered with the charity StreetGames to help bring doorstep sports to many communities across the UK. We want to support as many young people aged 8-21 as possible to live a healthier and more fulfilling life, whilst trying out new sports, meeting new people and learning useful skills. And it’s FREE!
Doorstep sport is run by organisations from your local area that are based in the heart of the community, as they know your area best. They’re passionate about giving young people the opportunity to get involved in exciting and varied sporting activities that they may not have been able to experience before.
This project has shown to make a difference on the lives of young people who get involved; it can help them to become physically and mentally healthier, whilst helping to build more connected communities.
There’s lots of great reasons to get involved. Most importantly, they will get the opportunity to play a variety of exciting sports such as football, boxing, badminton, cricket, basketball, baseball/rounders and many more!
They will also be able to meet new people, make friends, learn new skills, and support the growth of community sport in your local area. At the same time, they will be able to get help and support to improve their mental health and wellbeing, as well as learn some useful financial skills to better manage money.
We have partnered with StreetGames in the following areas:
If you live in one of these areas and would like to register an interest for a young person aged 8-21 or you would like to volunteer, please email wellbeingmatters@placesforpeople.co.uk or visit www.streetgames.org for more information.
We also have a range of other projects that offer employment support, digital training and wellbeing. For more information, please visit our community projects page.
Do you have an amazing neighbour? Do they make a difference to your life or the lives of others? Are they an unsung hero in the community? If so, we want to hear from you!
