How it works

Founded originally as an organisation working with homeless people in 2001, Street League is now one of the most exciting, dynamic and fastest growing charities in the UK.

 

We specialise in changing the lives of disadvantaged young people through the power of football.

 

We work with disadvantaged 16-25 year old NEETs (Not in Employment, Education or Training), Young Offenders and Substance Misusers and engage them in structured football and education programmes with a view to getting our participants into work, mainstream education or training.

 

We're really good at it too! Currently 72% of our Academy graduates go on to make a positive change in their lives by getting a job or going back into education. All this because of the power of football!

 

Street League is currently Number 10 Downing Street's volunteering partner and has been a charity partner of The FA since 2010.
