Changing Young People's 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.
Sport makes young people safer, happier, and healthier. But 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 need your support to transform this system and change lives.
WHEN SPORT IS A PRIVILEGE, YOUNG PEOPLE LOSE OUT. WE FIGHT FOR ACCESS AND UNLOCK OPPORTUNITY ACROSS THE UK.
We’re on a mission to bring sport to young people’s doorsteps. How Will You Play Your Part?
StreetGames gave me a voice, and it let all these ideas I had have a meaning and have them all be heard.
From a youth group in Derby to a policy meeting in Downing Street, young voices deserve to be listened to at every level. We are proud to be a champion for children and young people living in under-served communities: standing alongside them to ensure that their voices are heard and their needs are included in decision makers’ planning, policies and investment.

Big change starts small, in local parks, sports halls and community centres. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the people running those sessions, helping them do what they do best. While they bring sport to life locally, we push for change nationally so that every young person gets a fair chance.
