WHO WE ARE

Founded in 2001, Street League delivers structured sport and education programmes to some of the most disadvantaged young people across the UK. Street League works with a range of ‘hard to reach’ NEET groups (Not in Education, Employment or Training) to tackle issues such as homelessness, substance addiction, crime and unemployment. The organisation uses a structured sport and education programme to build participants confidence, improve their health, extend their social networks and develop their employability skills. The Street League progressions service then supports each participant in finding sustainable employment, education or training. Over the last 10 years, Street League has offered more than 22,000 individuals sport as a holistic solution to their social challenges.
