Annual Report 2016-17

“In the expanding world of sport for employability Street League remains the market leader.”

Professor Fred Coalter - Leading Sport for Employment researcher.

Thank you for taking the time to read the Street League Annual Report which covers our organisations' social and financial impact for the past twelve months.

In this analysis, we share our successes as well as our challenges, and also share the highest level of detail we have ever gone into for young people's journeys from unemployment through to sustainable employment. As always, we are striving for the highest level of transparency in our monitoring and evaluation.

Our report is built upon our Three Golden Rules of transparent impact reporting: we will never over claim what we do; all percentages are backed by absolute numbers, and all outcomes are backed by auditable evidence.
